The 2026 MLB Home Run Derby took place on July 13, 2026, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, coinciding with the MLB All-Star Game and marking the first time the event was broadcast on Netflix. Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals claimed the championship. This year introduced a major rule change, eliminating the traditional outs and round timer in favor of a fixed number of swings per round—20 in the opening round and 15 in the semifinals and finals. If a contestant's final swing was a home run, they would keep swinging until they failed to hit one, with ties broken by longest-distance home runs or three-swing swing-offs. Walker defeated Willson Contreras in the final round, with Contreras having earned the higher seed via a distance tiebreaker (490 ft to 470 ft) but ultimately falling short.
