ARLINGTON, Texas — Major League Baseball will play its 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta, four years after moving the event from Truist Park to Denver’s Coors Field over objections to changes in Georgia’s voting rights laws.
Atlanta was awarded the 2021 All-Star Game in May 2019, but MLB moved it in April 2021, just three months before that year’s Midsummer Classic was played.
“I made the decision in 2021 to move the event, and I understand, believe me, that people had then and probably still have different views as to the merits of that decision,” Rob Manfred, baseball’s commissioner, said Thursday during an announcement that followed a meeting of MLB team owners.
Next year’s MLB All-Star Game will be at Arlington’s Globe Life Field — the home of the Texas Rangers, the reigning World Series champions — and the 2026 game will be in Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
“We are thrilled that Major League Baseball has awarded the Atlanta Braves the 2025 All-Star Game,” team chairman Terry McGuirk said in a release. “Time and time again, Atlanta has proven to be a world-class destination for the most exciting entertainment and sporting events.”
