2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game
The 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 95th Major League Baseball All-Star Game played between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball. The game was played on July 15, 2025, and was televised nationally by Fox. The game was hosted by the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia.
The two teams played to a 6–6 tie after nine innings, causing the "swing-off" tiebreaker rule, originally implemented in 2022, to be invoked for the first time in the history of the All-Star Game. The National League won the tiebreaker 4–3 (and the game by a de facto score of 7–6), with Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber hitting three home runs for the National League during the tiebreaker and winning the All-Star Game MVP award for his efforts.
The Atlanta Braves were awarded the game on November 16, 2023, by Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred. Since moving to Atlanta, this is the third time that the Braves have hosted the MLB All-Star Game, with each at a different ballpark. The previous games were the 1972 edition at Atlanta Stadium, which was renamed to Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium in 1975, and the 2000 edition at Turner Field. The Braves franchise also hosted two earlier All-Star Games: the 1936 edition, when the franchise was located in Boston and the team was known as the Boston Bees, and the 1955 edition, when the franchise was located in Milwaukee and the team was known as the Milwaukee Braves.
Truist Park was originally scheduled to host the 2021 game before it was moved to Denver amid protests against the Election Integrity Act of 2021, at the recommendation of Georgia's two Senators and Atlanta city leadership (all of which represent Fulton County; the Braves moved in 2017 from Fulton to Cobb County). At the time of Atlanta's selection as hosts of the 2025 game, the law was still in effect as state legislation, although under legal challenge. In a statement made following the announcement of Atlanta's selection, Georgia governor Brian Kemp stated "Georgia's voting laws haven't changed, but it's good to see the MLB's misguided understanding of them has...We look forward to welcoming the All-Star Game to Georgia."
On July 22, 2024, the 2025 All-Star Game logo was unveiled with the presence of several former Braves players, along with Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox, prior to a scheduled home game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Former all-star position players Andrés Galarraga, Andruw Jones, and Chipper Jones threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the start of the game. All three previously played in the 71st All-Star Game hosted by the Braves in 2000.
The starting rosters for each league's position players plus designated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. Since 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions. Voting does not carry over between phases.
First-phase voting was held from June 4 through June 26, and second-phase voting was held from June 30 through July 2. All voting was conducted online, at MLB.com or via the MLB app. Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 2. Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner's Office"—were announced on July 6.
