NBA star LeBron James is scheduled to visit Luanda, Angola, for the first time on September 12 and 13, 2026. His visit coincides with the E1 Luanda Grand Prix, an international high-speed electric boat racing competition.

James is a co-owner of Team Alula, one of the teams participating in the electric boat world championship.
