VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris

What is the biggest star VY canis majoris or NML cygni?
Neither of them! The VY Canis Majoris is indeed bigger, but it isn't the biggest star in the Universe. The XZ Majoris Ceiphei is almost as big as the smallest Nebula, and it would take 10,000 years to orbit it in a passenger airplane. It is the biggest star in the Universe. So indeed the XZ Majoris Ceiphei is bigger than either the VY Canis Majoris or the NML Cygni. Comments: Estimating the sizes of these big stars is not easy and there are different answers in different places. For example, Wikipedia now gives NML Cygni as bigger than VY Canis Majoris. Also, I must admit I've never heard of "XZ Majoris Ceiphei". I know of the binary star XZ Cephei, but that's not the biggest star.
