Major League Baseball’s All-Star game will be returning to one of its most historic parks.

On Friday morning, MLB announced that the 2027 All-Star game would be held at Wrigley Field in Chicago for the first time since 1990.

“The hard work put into transforming all of Wrigleyville into an outstanding destination deserves to be celebrated and shared on a national stage.” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said.

We look forward to bringing the Midsummer Classic back to historic Wrigley Field and working alongside the Cubs, city and state officials, and the local organizing group to bring an extraordinary experience to the baseball fans of Chicago.

The 2027 Game will be played on July 13th of that year, with the Home Run Derby likely coming on the 12th, as batters will get the chance to launch balls into the famous bleachers at Wrigley.

“This is an honor for our team, our city, and our state.” Cubs executive chairman Tom Ricketts said. “We can’t wait to showcase how we have preserved this iconic ballpark. Wrigley Field means so much to Cubs fans and millions of people who have visited what we believe is a baseball cathedral and one of Illinois’ top tourist destinations.

“We play in a world-class city that is especially beautiful in the summer, and we’re looking forward to hosting the best players in our great game and fans from around the world.”

The 2026 All-Star Game will be held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia following the success of the 2025 game in Atlanta.
