Philadelphia will host the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, marking the club’s fourth All-Star outing and the venue’s debut. Festivities begin July 10 with the HBCU Swingman Classic and culminate in the 96th Midsummer Classic on July 14. The National League seeks back‑to‑back titles after last year’s swing‑off‑decided win this season and fans everywhere.

First‑phase voting identified league leaders Shohei Ohtani and Ernie Clement as automatic starters at designated hitter and second base. Phase 2 opens June 29, letting fans pick the top two remaining players per position, with ballots closing July 2. The final rosters will be announced on Independence Day, July 4.

All-Star week features a slate of first‑time events. The Futures Game and a new 3‑on‑3 showdown both air on July 12, while the Home Run Derby streams on Netflix at 8 p.m. on July 13. A red‑carpet pre‑game show precedes the main contest, also on Fox at 8 p.m. July 14.

Broadcast partners include Fox for the selection show and the game, MLB Network for the swing‑man classic and red‑carpet special, NBC for the Futures Game, and Netflix for the derby. Fans can follow the full schedule on ESPN’s website, ensuring no marquee matchup or fan‑focused event is missed this weekend.
