The best and brightest stars headline a scintillating matchup at the 2026 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. 

The Midsummer Classic returns to the City of Brotherly Love for a historic celebration matching the 250th anniversary of American independence. Stacked lineups from both leagues will clash under the lights at Citizens Bank Park. 

The National League offense won't be powered by Shohei Ohtani, who drew the top overall vote count for his sixth straight selection but won't play due to left knee irritation. Veterans Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy will play, alongside Juan Soto and Kyle Schwarber.

The American League counters with dynamic elite forces, including young phenom Bobby Witt Jr. anchoring shortstop and veterans Mike Trout and Yordan Alvarez bringing heavy lumber to the card. Yankees Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger will draw the starting nods after injuries to Nick Kurtz and Aaron Judge.

Here's everything that you need to know about watching Tuesday's All-Star Game, including channel and live stream information.
