The 96th Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played on July 14, 2026, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, a venue chosen to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The American League defeated the National League 4–0, marking the first All-Star Game shutout since 2013. Cody Bellinger of the New York Yankees earned MVP honors after driving in two runs in the first inning, and he and teammate Ben Rice became the first Yankees duo to record RBIs in the same All-Star Game since 1964. The game featured a star-studded pre-game ceremony with Patti Labelle, Jennifer Hudson, and Alexander Stewart, while Miguel Vargas added a solo home run in the eighth inning. Philadelphia was awarded the game in 2019, making it the Phillies' fourth time hosting but their first at Citizens Bank Park, with rosters determined by fan voting that saw Shohei Ohtani and Ernie Clement as the top vote-getters.
