The MLB All-Star Game festivities soon could return to Third and King.<\/p>\n

If MLB and the Players Association agree to allow players to compete in the 2028 Olympics, San Francisco is a frontrunner to host the All-Star Game that year, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser reported Tuesday<\/a>, citing a league source.<\/p>\n

According to Slusser, if MLB players are allowed to compete in the Olympics, both the league and the union reportedly would prefer a West Coast destination for the All-Star Game in order for the participants to be able to easily travel to Los Angeles, where the Summer Olympics baseball tournament will be held. <\/p>\n

Slusser also reported that the momentum appears to be in favor of allowing MLB players to compete in the 2028 Olympics. <\/p>\n

The other West Coast options include Petco Park in San Diego and T-Mobile Park in Seattle — both of which have hosted the All-Star Game more recently than Oracle Park — and Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, which, according to Slusser, is not in consideration. It is unclear if Angel Stadium in Anaheim is a likely option.<\/p>\n

Following this year’s event at Truist Park in Atlanta, the All-Star Game will be played at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park in 2026 and Chicago’s Wrigley Field in 2027. <\/p>\n
