MLB Sets 2027 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field

Major League Baseball has confirmed that the 2027 All-Star Game will take place at Chicago's Wrigley Field, the first time since 1990 and the fourth time overall for the iconic venue. The announcement followed years of renovations and security upgrades by the Cubs to meet league standards. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, Cubs executives, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson attended the official ceremony, highlighting the city's enthusiasm and preparedness. The All-Star Week will feature the main game, the Home Run Derby, the Futures Game, and community events throughout Wrigleyville. There remains some uncertainty due to the possibility of an MLB work stoppage when the current collective bargaining agreement expires in December 2026, though Manfred expressed optimism about reaching a new deal. The 2026 All-Star Game will be held in Philadelphia in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence.
