Introduction to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game
The Midsummer Classic is right around the corner. The top players across Major League Baseball will meet up for the 95th MLB All-Star Game as the American League battles the National League. This year’s All-Star Game will be held at Truist Park in Atlanta, home of the Braves. It will be the third All-Star Game in Atlanta and first at Truist Park.
The AL got back in the win column in 2024, defeating the NL 5-3 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The AL had won nine straight from 2013 to 2022 (there was no All-Star Game during the COVID-shortened 2020 season) before the NL snapped its skid with a 3-2 win in 2023.

Does the MLB All-Star Game Determine World Series Home-Field Advantage?

Are There Extra Innings in the MLB All-Star Game?
If the MLB All-Star Game is tied after nine innings, it will not go to extra innings. Instead, the outcome will be decided by a Home Run Derby. The derby format sees three players from each team getting three swings — with coaches pitching to them — to try to hit as many home runs as possible. The team with the most combined home runs is named the winner of the game.
Are There MLB All-Star Game Uniforms for 2025?
MLB is going back to primary team uniforms for the All-Star Game. For 2025, AL players will wear their road jerseys, while NL players will wear their home jerseys. The league unveiled uniforms that players will wear for Gatorade workout day and the Home Run Derby.
The All-Star Game uniforms are inspired by Atlanta and the Braves’ Truist Park. For the All-Star Game, club uniforms were used by the American League from 1933-2019 and by the National League from 1934-2019.
