Atlanta will host 2025 MLB All-Star Game

Atlanta will host the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, the Braves announced Thursday.

It'll be the first All-Star Game held in Atlanta since the 2000 Midsummer Classic.

"As a model of success on and off the field, the Braves deserve to host the All-Star Game," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. "Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta will provide fans a world-class experience in 2025. We look forward to working with the Braves and local leaders to deliver a memorable All-Star week that brings people together and benefits the community in many ways."

Atlanta was previously scheduled to host the 2021 All-Star Game before changes to the state's voting laws caused the league to change course, awarding the game to Coors Field in Denver.

"I made the decision in 2021 to move the event, and I understand that - believe me - people had then and probably still have different views as to the merits of that decision," Manfred said, according to The Athletic's Evan Drellich.

The 2024 All-Star Game will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, while the 2026 edition will be held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
