Texas Rangers to host 2024 MLB All-Star Game at Globe Life Field
MLB announces the host of the 2024 All-Star Game, and it’s the Texas Rangers.
For the second time in franchise history, the Texas Rangers will host Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game in 2024.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced Thursday that the game will be played on July 16, 2024 at Globe Life Field.
When was the last time the Rangers hosted an All-Star game?
The last time the Rangers hosted the All-Star Game was in 1995 at the Ballpark in Arlington, before moving to Globe Life Field three seasons ago.
That has been the only time the franchise hosted the Midsummer Classic.
“With the opening of Globe Life Field in 2020 and the incredible development that continues to take place around the park, Arlington is an ideal location to host Major League Baseball and the Midsummer Classic,” Rangers majority owner Ray Davis stated.
The 2024 All-Star Game will be the second straight game held in an AL city, with next year’s game set to be played in Seattle.
While no announcement has been made about the 2025 game, Philadelphia will host the 2026 game to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
