Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that the Texas Rangers will host the 2024 All-Star Game at Globe Life Field.

“Major League Baseball is pleased to award the 2024 All-Star Game to the Rangers and the Cities of Arlington and Fort Worth, which presented a robust bid for All-Star Week,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “The Rangers stepped up under difficult circumstances and Globe Life Field served as terrific host for the 2020 Postseason, including the World Series. We are excited to once again feature Baseball’s newest ballpark on a global stage next summer.”

Seattle is scheduled to host the game in 2023; Philadelphia is scheduled to host the game in 2026. The 2024 and 2025 dates were open. This leaves 2025 as open.

“The Texas Rangers are honored to be awarded the 2024 All-Star Game,” Rangers majority owner and managing partner Ray Davis said. “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.

“We want to thank Commissioner Rob Manfred, the State of Texas and the Governor’s Office, the Cities of Arlington and Fort Worth, and all of the dedicated officials from the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau and Visit Fort Worth for their efforts in bringing this showcase event to the area.”

The Texas Rangers and the City of Arlington have scheduled a press conference for this afternoon at 2:30 p.m. to announce the details of All-Star Week. Events will be scheduled in Arlington, many in the Arlington Entertainment District, with additional activities expected to take place in Fort Worth.

The Rangers last hosted the All-Star Game in 1995 at The Ballpark in Arlington. The National League beat the American League 3-2. Miami’s Jeff Conine was the Most Valuabe Player of the game.
