The 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be the 95th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, presented by MasterCard, will be played between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball. The game is scheduled to be played on July 15, 2025. The game will be televised nationally by Fox. The game will be hosted by the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia.[1]
Background
[edit]Host selection
[edit]The Atlanta Braves were awarded the game on November 16, 2023, by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. This will be the third time that the Braves host the MLB All-Star Game. The previous games were the 1972 at Atlanta Stadium, which was renamed to Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in 1975 and 2000 at Turner Field. Truist Park was originally scheduled to host the 2021 game before it was moved to Denver amid protests against the Election Integrity Act of 2021.[2]
On July 22, 2024, the 2025 All-Star Game logo was unveiled with the presence of several former Braves players, along with Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox, prior to the scheduled home game against the Cincinnati Reds.[3]
Roster selections
[edit]The starting rosters for each league's position players plus designated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. Since 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions. Voting does not carry over between phases.[4]
