MLB makes announcement on who will host 2027 All-Star Game

  • Wrigley Field will host the 2027 MLB All-Star Game on July 13, 2027.
  • This will be the fourth time the Cubs have hosted the All-Star Game at Wrigley Field.
  • The American League has won all three previous All-Star Games played at Wrigley Field.

Wrigley Field, the home field of the Chicago Cubs, will host the 2027 All-Star Game, Major League Baseball announced Friday.

The 97th edition of the Midsummer Classic will be played Tuesday, July 13, 2027. The 2026 game is set for Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on July 14, 2026, and will be broadcast nationally by FOX.

‘I applaud the Ricketts family, the entire Cubs organization, the City of Chicago and the Chicago Sports Commission for presenting an impressive vision for 2027 All-Star Week,’ MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. ‘The hard work put in to transform all of Wrigleyville into an outstanding destination deserves to be celebrated and shared on a national stage. We look forward to bringing the Midsummer Classic back to historic Wrigley Field and working alongside the Cubs, city and state officials, and the local organizing group to bring an extraordinary experience to the baseball fans of Chicago.’

The 2027 game will be the fourth time the Cubs host the All-Star Game and Chicago’s eighth time playing host to the game. Wrigley Field was the site of the game in 1947, 1962 (the second of two All-Star Games played that year), and 1990, and it will become the third stadium in history to host the All-Star Game for a fourth time, following Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium and the old Yankee Stadium in New York.

The American League has won all three of the previous All-Star games over the National League played at Wrigley Field. The Junior Circuit won 2-1 in 1947, 9-4 in 1962, and 2-0 in 1990, with the NL being held to just two hits in that game. The AL leads the all-time series 48-44-3.
