The 2026 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class has nine inductees.
The class spans several areas of basketball. The North American Committee selected referee Joey Crawford, coaches Mark Few and Doc Rivers, and player Amar’e Stoudemire. The Women’s Committee selected the 1996 United States women’s national team, Elena Delle Donne, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Candace Parker. Contributor Mike D’Antoni completed the class.
The class therefore includes eight individual people and one team. That distinction can cause confusion when people count only the named players, coaches, referee, and contributor. The 1996 U.S. team is one collective inductee, but it is still counted among the nine official inductees.
The announcement was made in Indianapolis on April 4, 2026. Enshrinement festivities were scheduled for August 14–15 in Springfield, Massachusetts, and at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
