2021-09-16 21:10:02 GMT + 00: 00 – The Mariners will host the All-Star Game 2023, Major League Baseball announced on Thursday at the Space Needle in Seattle.

The Midsummer Classic will return to the Emerald City for the third time overall and for the first time since 2001. Seattle hosted the event at the Kingdome in 1979 and at T-Mobile Park in 2001, then called Safeco Field.

“Major League Baseball is excited to present the All-Star Game to the Mariners and their fans in 2023,” said Commissioner Rob Manfred. “The city of Seattle has been home to many of our game’s favorite characters in recent history, and we look forward to bringing the sport’s current stars and all of All-Star Week to the Emerald City.

“I congratulate the Mariners organization and local leadership in the city of Seattle and Washington state for their efforts to bring the Midsummer Classic to the Pacific Northwest for the second time at T-Mobile Park.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to host the All-Star Game in 2022 before Seattle gets its chance at the 93rd edition of the game the following year.

“The Mariners are honored to have Seattle and the Pacific Northwest host the 93rd

“The Mariners are committed to bringing unforgettable experiences to our fans, serving our communities, and enriching lives by sharing our love of baseball and showing our region to the nation and the world.”

Philadelphia will host the All-Star Game in 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
