Philadelphia Preps for MLB All-Star Game 2026

This week, members of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB), City of Philadelphia, and other local partners attended the 2025 MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta in anticipation of Philadelphia’s run as host city in 2026.

Said Gregg Caren, president and CEO of the PHLCVB, “Our team is excited to be in Atlanta for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, getting a behind-the-scenes look at what we can expect as we prepare for this signature event in Philadelphia next year. This week has been a learning experience as our city and partners plan ahead for next year. But with its electric sports culture, world-class sports venues, and dedicated hospitality community, Philadelphia is in a great position as host city to accomplish MLB’s goals and execute its activations. Atlanta did a stellar job as host city this year and we return to Philadelphia feeling inspired.”
