It’s official—and it’s a big one! Major League Baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies has just unveiled the full schedule for MLB All-Star Week 2026 in Philadelphia, marking one of the city’s biggest sports moments in decades.
Set for July 10-14, 2026, the weeklong celebration will lead up to the 96th MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park…all during America’s 250th anniversary.
The 96th Midsummer Classic will be played at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, July 14th, the night after the T-Mobile Home Run Derby, for the celebration of the semiquincentennial of American independence. It follows suit from 1976, when Veterans Stadium hosted the All-Star Game in the year of the nation’s bicentennial.
“As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, MLB All-Star Week in Philadelphia carries added significance, bringing one of America’s most iconic pastimes to the city where the country’s story began,” said Jeremiah Yolkut, MLB Senior Vice President, Global Operations & Events.
“With baseball deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, this moment becomes more than a marquee sporting event, it’s a celebration of tradition, unity, and shared experience. Set within a year when Philadelphia will host the world, All-Star Week captures a uniquely American perspective on that global spotlight, rooted in heritage, community, and the enduring spirit of the game.”
