The 2025 Major League Baseball All Star Game will be played July 15 at Truist Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves.
The game is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST., airing on FOX.
Fans will remember that Atlanta was set to host the 2021 All Star Game, but the game was moved from Atlanta in protest of Georgia’s restrictive voting laws.
In a statement explaining the move, MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred noted: “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All Star Game and the MLB Draft.”
The 2021 game was moved to Coors Field in Colorado.
It must be noted that every MLB must be represented in the All Star Game.

Quick Thoughts On The MLB All Star Rosters:
1. Lefty Matthew Boyd making the team is a tremendous accomplishment. Coming back from Tommy John surgery, he pitched for Cleveland last year, and was outstanding. He signed with the Cubs as a free agent.
2. The highest paid player in MLB, Juan Soto has not made the team. Perhaps he will be a substitute in the event of injury.
3. Casual fans will be introduced to the Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong, one of the most exciting players in the game.
4. Cleveland Guardians closer, Emmanuel Clase did not make the team. He has scuffled some this year, after having a career year in 2024.
5. Fans may have never seen the Marlins Kyle Stowers play. He has awesome power, and if he gets his pitch, he can change a game.
6. Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is a bit of a hidden gem. A very good player, he will represent the Rockies very well.
7. Fans watching or listening to the game should listen for the very loud grunts when the Giants Robbie Ray throws a pitch. He doesn’t always do it, but when he does, you’ll know.
8. This old scout is hoping for changes in the format of the MLB All Star Home Run Derby. It goes on too long. And frankly, it gets a bit boring.
9. Aroldis Chapman is still serving up heat, and getting batters out. He’s back as an All Star.
Here’s hoping this is an epic All Star Classic, at the home of the Atlanta Braves.
