Major League Baseball Awards 2028 All-Star Game to San Francisco, Which Last Hosted in 2007
MLB says the game will give players a short trip to the 2028 Olympic baseball tournament at Dodger Stadium.
- Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that San Francisco's Oracle Park will host the 2028 All-Star Game, marking the fourth time the Bay Area hosts the Midsummer Classic.
- In 2007, the Giants last hosted the midseason showcase, featuring Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki's inside-the-park home run. MLB selected San Francisco because West Coast teams like the Dodgers and Mariners have hosted since.
- Mayor Daniel Lurie celebrated the announcement, stating "We've made public safety our top priority since day one, and we're delivering safe and clean streets for residents and visitors." The event is expected to generate more than $60 million in economic impact.
- Looking ahead, the Chicago Cubs will host the 2027 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field, while reports indicate the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to host in 2029 and the Baltimore Orioles in 2030.
- Aligning with the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, the schedule may allow MLB players to participate in the Summer Games for the first time, with the game tentatively expected on Tuesday, July 11, 2028.
