On Thursday, the MLB announced the location of three All-Star Games in the next four years.
The Seattle Mariners will be hosting in 2023 at T-Mobile Park, for the third time, while the Texas Rangers will be hosting in 2024 for their second time- and first since 1995- at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.
While no information on the location of the 2025 All Star Game has been out yet, the Philadelphia Phillies will be getting hosting duties in 2026 at Citizens Bank Park. This will be the Phillies’ fifth time hosting an All-Star Game, as the league celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
With today's announcement of the 2024 All-Star Game taking place in Arlington, we now know the location for 3 of the next 4 years! 🤩

MLB: What happens with the 2025 All-Star Game?
So far, the leading candidates to host the 2025 All-Star Game are reportedly the Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves. The Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs are thought to also be in the mix, but they have already had four and seven turns, respectively.

If the league decides to keep the All-Star Game in the AL East, the Jays, who have only hosted once, and the Orioles- twice- are both good options.
Not forgetting about the Oakland Athletics back in the bay, who have not hosted since 1987. But it seems more unlikely given that the San Francisco Giants also haven’t hosted for the last 15 years.
We’ll just have to wait and see what the League decides for the mysterious year.
Good morning, baseball fans.
Yesterday, the location of three of the next four MLB All Star Games was announced.
First up will be the Seattle Mariners hosting in 2023 at T-Mobile Park. This will be the third time Seattle has hosted.
In 2024, the game moves to Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX where the Texas Rangers will be hosting for their second time.
This one was a bit of an interesting choice, as many fans have noted, since MLB pulled the 2021 festivities from Truist Park in Atlanta in response to Georgia’s state legislature passing the “Election Integrity Act”, which restricted access to voting, specifically for people of color.
Yet, in the very same year, Texas’s state legislature passed a similar bill, but will get to host the event just two years later. Really great stuff, MLB. Nailed it.
Anyway, the Philadelphia Phillies will get hosting duties in 2026 at Citizens Bank Park, marking their fifth time hosting as MLB celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The 2025 All Star Game location has not yet been determined. The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are reported to be in the mix, though with Chicago having had seven turns and Boston four, it sure seems like maybe going another route would be preferable. If they wanted to keep it in the AL East, the Toronto Blue Jays have only hosted once, and the Baltimore Orioles just twice, the last for both was 30+ years ago.
It would be nice to see the festivities back in the bay, as the Oakland Athletics have only hosted one game, back in 1987. But with the A’s in ballpark limbo and the San Francisco Giants having hosted just 15 years ago, that seems pretty unlikely.
