Baseball’s midsummer classic is coming to Philadelphia next year during the nation’s 250th birthday and the MLB unveiled the official logo for the momentous event.
The 2026 All-Star Declaration ceremony was held on Friday, July 18, 2025, at Philadelphia’s Dilworth Park. During the ceremony – which featured appearances by Bryce Harper, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels and Larry Bowa — the MLB revealed the official 2026 All-Star Game logo. The 96th Midsummer Classic will take place at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, in celebration of America’s 250th year of independence. A league spokesperson described the logo as a tribute to Philadelphia as well as America’s semiquincentennial.
“At the center of the design is the Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of the city and the nation, reimagined with energy and movement to reflect the spirit of the Midsummer Classic,” a league spokesperson wrote. “The typography takes cues from the bell’s historic inscriptions, blended with design touches inspired by the Phillies’ signature style. Anchored by patriotic themes and layered with modern flair, the mark is a dynamic expression of baseball’s place in American culture — past, present, and future.”
Next year’s festivities will also include the All-Star Futures Game and the T-Mobile Home Run Derby at Citizens Bank Park.
Next year will be the fifth time that Philadelphia hosted the MLB All-Star Game and it will be the first time at Citizens Bank Park. Past all-star games took place at Philadelphia’s former Veterans Stadium in 1996 as well as 1976, the year of the nation’s bicentennial. Other all-star games in Philly took place at the former Shibe Park Stadium in 1952 and 1943.
