Philadelphia to Host the 96th All-Star Game
The 96th edition of the MLB All-Star Game is scheduled for July 14, 2026, and will be played under the lights of Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, marking the city's first time hosting the midsummer showcase since the stadium opened in 2004.
This year's contest will bring together the league's brightest talents, including two‑way phenom Shohei Ohtani, power slugger Aaron Judge, and rising star Juan Soto, who will join a lineup of other marquee names such as Kyle Schwarber, Freddie Freeman and Bobby Witt Jr. Dave Roberts, manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will guide the National League squad, while John Schneider of the Toronto Blue Jays will lead the American League.
The game will be televised nationally on FOX, with a 4K feed and Spanish-language coverage on FOX Deportes, giving viewers multiple ways to experience the action. Fans who prefer digital platforms can stream the event live through Fubo, which offers a robust selection of sports channels.
Beyond the spectacle, the All-Star Game serves as a celebration of the first half of the season, offering players a rare opportunity to rest before the pennant race intensifies. For Philadelphia, the event is a chance to highlight the city's rich baseball heritage and to welcome a global audience to Citizens Bank Park.
As the city prepares for the influx of visitors, local businesses and community groups are gearing up to make the weekend a memorable experience for players and fans alike.
