The Summer Classic heads to the original capital of the United States on Tuesday as the NL All-Stars host the AL All-Stars at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
After losing nine All-Star Games in a row, the NL has now won two of the last three. And remember: they won last year because they won a home run swing-off when the game was tied after regulation!
What will this year’s game provide? Let’s find out!

Game Notes
Soto is the only Met to make the All-Star team this year. Expect him to get at least two plate appearances.
A slew of players won’t participate in the game due to injury.
- The NL will be without Shohei Ohtani (knee), Paul Skenes, and Jacob Misiorowski (fatigue) on the mound. Max Meyer and Chase Burns were replaced, too.
- Aaron Judge, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Byron Buxton, Ranger Suárez and Nick Kurtz will be missing from the AL roster.
Jordan Walker won the 2026 Home Run Derby over Kyle Schwarber in the finale (in pretty dramatic fashion, too).
