The 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be the 94th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, presented by MasterCard, will be played between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball. The game is scheduled to be played on July 16, 2024. The game will be televised nationally by Fox. The game will be hosted by the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks will manage the National League Team and Bruce Bochy of the Texas Rangers will manage the American League Team.

Background[edit]

Host selection[edit]

The Texas Rangers were awarded the game on November 17, 2022 by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. This will be the second time that the Rangers host the All-Star Game in franchise history. The previous game was the 1995 at The Ballpark In Arlington, which was renamed Globe Life Park, prior to the 2014 season. In addition, this will be the first All-Star Game since 1934 to be hosted by the reigning World Series Champions. The game is scheduled for July 16, 2024.[1]

Roster selections[edit]

The starting rosters for each league's position players plus designated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. Since 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions. Voting does not carry over between phases.[2]

First phase voting was held from June 5 through June 27, and second phase voting was held from June 30 through July 3. All voting was conducted online, at MLB.com or via the MLB app. Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 3. Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office"—will be announced on July 7.[3]

The leading vote getter in each league during phase one was Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. Judge received the most votes during phase one with 3,425,309 votes.[4]

Logo and uniforms[edit]

The 2024 All-Star Game logo featured imagery that represents the culture and pride of Texas. The typeface is based on the Rangers' current typography, and a five-point star in the middle of the words "ALL" and "STAR" symbolized Texas' nickname of the "Lone Star State". Within the logo is an outline of Texas along with illustrations that were symbols to Texas culture.[5][6]

The American League uniforms featured a sand base with coral red sleeves and light blue cuffs. Caps are in coral red with a sand front panel, featuring the team logo in front of coral red and light blue stripes leading to a silver star on the right. The National League uniforms featured a navy blue base with light blue sleeves and coral red cuffs. Caps are in light blue with a navy blue front panel, featuring the team logo in front of light blue and coral red stripes leading to a silver star on the right. Both uniforms featured the full league name in front, the player's team logo on the left sleeve, and the All-Star Game logo on the right sleeve.[7][8]
