KiiiKiii Land Their First NBA Stage at China Games 2026 in Macau

KiiiKiii are heading to Macau this October for their first appearance on an NBA stage, with Starship Entertainment confirming on the 23rd that the group will perform at both halftime shows of the NBA China Games 2026.

The five-member group, Jiyu, Isol, Sui, Haeum, and Kiya, will take the halftime stage at The Venetian Arena on October 9 and 11, when the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets face off in what is one of the NBA's flagship preseason international events. The games are expected to draw a significant crowd of both local fans and notable guests, including NBA legends Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, Jeremy Lin, and Stephon Marbury.

Three days, three stages

Sandwiched between the two game days, KiiiKiii will also headline NBA House Macao 2026 on October 10, an official interactive fan event where they'll perform a dedicated 30-minute solo set. The setlist and staging are described as distinct from the halftime shows, giving fans at the venue a closer, more intimate experience than the arena performances.

Starship is positioning the run as a chance for KiiiKiii's high-energy, Gen Z-coded performance style to reach both the live crowd in Macau and the global broadcast audience tuning in for the games. It's a notable platform for a group still in its debut era, and the kind of international exposure that tends to shift how an act is perceived outside Korea.

For KiiiKiii fans tracking the group's trajectory, three performances across three consecutive days on an NBA stage is a clean signal that the label is moving quickly to build their global footprint.
