Background

Host selection

The Philadelphia Phillies were awarded the game on April 16, 2019. This will be the fourth time that the Phillies will host an All-Star Game, but the first since moving to Citizens Bank Park in 2004; the previous games were in 1952 at Shibe Park and in 1976 and 1996 at Veterans Stadium. [3] The Philadelphia Athletics had also hosted the All-Star Game at Shibe Park, in 1943. [4]

The All-Star Game logo was unveiled on July 18, 2025, prior to the Phillies' home game against the Los Angeles Angels, with the presence of the Philadelphia City Council, Phillies executives and former Phillies players. The logo features the Liberty Bell with the MLB Batter logo on top and the host city and year on the bottom. [5]
