MLB All-Star Week 2026 Viewing Guide: Full Schedule, Rosters and How to Watch Every Event

All-Star week takes over Philadelphia from July 10 through July 14, and Citizens Bank Park sits at the center of nearly all of it. Whether you’re planning a watch party for every event or just want to catch the two biggest nights, here is the full rundown of what’s happening, who’s playing, and when to tune in.

The Full All-Star Week Schedule

All-Star Sunday on July 12 kicks off the on-field action with a doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. The All-Star Futures Game, showcasing top Minor League prospects, starts at noon ET and airs on NBC. It’s immediately followed by MLBx, the fast-paced 3-on-3 knockout competition that replaced the old Celebrity Softball Game, featuring Phillies legends and current stars in a co-ed format built around power hitting and athletic defense.

The T-Mobile Home Run Derby follows on Monday, July 13, at 8 p.m. ET with gates opening at 5 p.m. In a notable change, the event streams exclusively on Netflix this year instead of its longtime home on ESPN. Tuesday, July 14 brings the All-Star Red Carpet Show at 2 p.m. ET at Independence Mall, followed by the main event: the 96th MLB All-Star Game, with coverage on Fox beginning at 7 p.m. ET and first pitch at 8 p.m.

The American League Lineup

The AL starters were set by fan balloting and feature a mix of established stars and first-time honorees. Shea Langeliers gets the nod behind the plate, with Nick Kurtz stepping in at first base after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was voted in but opted not to play. Ernie Clement and Junior Caminero round out the infield at second and third, with Bobby Witt Jr. at shortstop. The outfield features Byron Buxton, Aaron Judge, and Mike Trout, with Yordan Alvarez as the designated hitter.

There is one significant wrinkle here: Judge was voted in as a starter but will not play due to a fractured rib that has sidelined him since June. He is still expected to be recognized during pregame festivities even though he will not take the field. Reserves for the AL include catchers Dillon Dingler and Adley Rutschman, infielders Travis Bazzana, Kevin McGonigle, Ben Rice, and Miguel Vargas, outfielders Randy Arozarena, Cody Bellinger, and Riley Greene, and designated hitter Yandy Diaz. On the mound, the AL staff includes Dylan Cease, Parker Messick, Drew Rasmussen, Joe Ryan, Cam Schlittler, Ranger Suarez, and Michael Wacha as starters, with Bryan Baker, Aroldis Chapman, Jacob Latz, Cade Smith, and Louis Varland out of the bullpen.

The National League Lineup

The NL starting nine is led by Drake Baldwin behind the plate, with Freddie Freeman at first, Ozzie Albies at second, Max Muncy at third, and CJ Abrams at shortstop. The outfield trio of Brandon Marsh, Andy Pages, and Juan Soto gives the NL a mix of local flavor and star power, with Shohei Ohtani serving as designated hitter after leading all vote-getters in his league.

Reserves for the NL include catchers William Contreras and Hunter Goodman, infielders Luis Arraez, Bryce Harper, Otto Lopez, Matt Olson, and Sal Stewart, outfielders Corbin Carroll, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Jordan Walker, and James Wood, and Kyle Schwarber as the reserve DH. The NL pitching staff features Chase Burns, Max Meyer, Jacob Misiorowski, Eduardo Rodriguez, Chris Sale, Cristopher Sanchez, Paul Skenes, and Logan Webb as starters, backed by Jhoan Duran, Raisel Iglesias, and Mason Miller in relief.

What to Watch For

Beyond the star power, this year’s game features a genuinely stacked pitching staff on both sides, headlined by Paul Skenes and Chris Sale for the NL against a deep and versatile AL bullpen. The absence of Judge, one of the game’s biggest draws, is a real storyline heading into the week, and it’s worth watching whether the league adds a fill-in outfielder before Tuesday’s game. Home-field advantage in the World Series is no longer tied to the outcome, but nobody wants to be on the wrong side of the American League’s recent dominance in the series, having won 10 of the last 11 meetings.

If you’re setting up a watch party for any of these events, or several, checking the 2026 Sports Betting Calendar is a good way to keep every date straight across the rest of the summer. And if you want some skin in the game for Tuesday’s showdown, a DraftKings Promo Code or FanDuel Promo Code will get you set up before first pitch. Live lines on the game itself, including the moneyline and run total, can be tracked at Live MLB Odds as the week gets closer.

Between the Futures Game showcasing baseball’s next wave, the Derby bringing the sport’s biggest power hitters to Netflix for the first time, and a genuinely loaded All-Star Game to close it out, this year’s trip to Philadelphia gives fans plenty of reasons to keep the TV on all week.
