Chicago Cubs Will Host the 2027 All Star Game at Wrigley Field
Major League Baseball had big news on Friday. An announcement that would reveal which city and ballpark would have the honor of hosting duties in two years. With the trade deadline now the past the MLB confirmed that the Chicago Cubs will host the 2027 All Star Game at Wrigley Field.
Wrigley is filled to the brim with rich baseball history. Wrigley Field, which was built in 1914, is the second-oldest ballpark in the majors behind Boston’s Fenway Park (1912).
Many iconic moments have occurred within its walls. Such as the infamous Babe Ruth “called shot.” When Ruth allegedly pointed to a bleacher location during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series. Ruth then hit Charlie Root’s next pitch for a homer.
Also, there’s Pete Rose’s 4,191st career hit, which tied him with Ty Cobb for the most hits in baseball history. Rose singled off Reggie Patterson on September 8, 1985. Lastly, some may think of Sammy Sosa. Sosa hit his 60th home runs in 1998, 1999 and 2001 at Wrigley.
So then, having All Stars all converge in Chicago makes a lot of sense. Wrigley Field possesses many connections to the game. Why not have some of the best in the league make a few more there?

And in 2027, fans from across the globe will fall in love with the game here at the MLB All-Star Game. I look forward to welcoming you all.”
Furthermore, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made the official All Star Game announcement on Friday from a podium near home plate. Manfred stated,
“It is my honor to award the 2027 All-Star Game to the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. The amazing transformation that has taken place at Wrigley Field and, indeed, Wrigleyville will provide a great setting for one of our most important events.”
So then, the plans are all set… Chicago will host at Wrigley Field. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred credited a $32 million security upgrade paid for by the city, state and team for helping win the game. The game will be played on July 13th, 2027. Whereas the Phillies are set to host the 2026 All-Star Game in recognition of the 250th anniversary of American independence.
