Rangers to host ’24 All-Star Game

- Larry Fleisher

NEW YORK – The Texas Rangers will host Major League Baseball’s 2024 All-Star Game, Commission­er Rob Manfred announced Thursday.

Speaking at the conclusion of this week’s owners’ meetings in New York, Manfred announced the game will be held July 16, 2024 at Globe Life Field, which opened during the 2020 pandemic season. The stadium hosted the neutral site World Series and NL Championsh­ip Series that season.

Next year’s game will take place in Seattle, which last hosted in 2001 in Ichiro’s rookie year and Cal Ripken Jr.’s final season.

The 2026 game will take place in Philadelph­ia to coincide with the 250th anniversar­y of the founding of the United States. No announceme­nt has been made about the 2025 game.

Texas will host its second All-Star Game and first since the National League claimed a 3-2 victory in 1995 at The Ballpark in Arlington. That was the first midsummer classic since a contentiou­s strike canceled the remainder of the 1994 regular season and postseason and reduced the 1995 season to 144 games.
