The All-Star Game is returning to San Francisco in two years. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred made the announcement Friday that the 2028 Midsummer Classic will be at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.
This will mark another major sporting event for the Bay Area recently after the Super Bowl and World Cup this year and the NBA All-Star Game in February 2025. The Giants will host the Midsummer Classic for a fourth time overall after Candlestick Park held the first All-Star Game of the 1961 season and also baseball’s summer showcase in 1984.
Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said the club is “incredibly honored” and expressed his gratitude. He noted that hosting the All-Star Game is a chance to highlight the people, neighborhoods, and culture that make the community special.
