The Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field will host the 2027 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday.

Manfred made his announcement at Wrigley Field with Cubs executive chairman Tom Ricketts, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Hall of Fame member and eight-time All-Star Andre Dawson and two-time All-Star Shawon Dunston among those in attendance.

The game will be played July 13, 2027, as the culmination of All-Star Week festivities.

The 97th Midsummer Classic will be the fourth hosted at Wrigley Field. The American League won the previous meetings at Wrigley Field in 1947, 1962 and 1990.

“I applaud the Ricketts family, the entire Cubs organization, the City of Chicago and the Chicago Sports Commission for presenting an impressive vision for 2027 All-Star Week,” Manfred said. “The hard work put in to transform all of Wrigleyville into an outstanding destination deserves to be celebrated and shared on a national stage.

“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.”

The 2026 contest will take place in Philadelphia to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. The Phillies’ former home, Veterans Stadium, hosted the All-Star Game in 1976 to honor the nation’s bicentennial.
