Chicago Cubs officially will host 2027 All-Star game

For those looking to mark their calendars, July 13, 2027 will be when all of MLB’s best players two years from now take center stage in Chicago, bringing the Midsummer Classic back to Wrigley Field for the first time in over three decades.

This will be Wrigley Field’s fourth All-Star game, joining Cleveland‘s Municipal Stadium and the old Yankee Stadium as the only ballparks to host that many. Outside of 1990, the All-Star game was also played at Wrigley Field in 1947 and 1962.

Statement from Rob Manfred on Wrigley Field being selected for the 2027 All-Star game

After the announcement of Wrigley Field hosting the 2027 All-Star game, commission Rob Manfred released a statement saying, “I think we’re probably overdue in terms of being at Wrigley. The Ricketts family, city of Chicago and state of Illinois made a tremendous investment not just in the ballpark but the area around it. I think it’ll be a fantastic venue for our All-Star celebration.”

Manfred went on to say, “The hard work put in to transform all of Wrigleyville into an outstanding destination deserves to be celebrated and shared on a national stage,” Manfred said in a statement. “We look forward to bringing the Midsummer Classic back to historic Wrigley Field and working alongside the Cubs, city and state officials, and the local organizing group to bring an extraordinary experience to the baseball fans of Chicago.”
