2025 MLB All-Star Game on FOX Posts 7.2 Million In Viewership
Tuesday's telecast also drew in 7.2 million viewers, making it the most-watched All-Star event, FOX Sports announced on Wednesday. That figure was also the most viewers for a FOX telecast since Super Bowl Sunday. Viewership for the Midsummer Classic peaked at 8.1 million between 9:15-9:30 p.m. ET.
The National League defeated the American League for only the second time since 2013. After finishing 6-6 after nine innings at Truist Park, the game went to a swing-off for the first time in All-Star Game history. Philadelphia Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber earned MVP honors after he smashed three homers in the swing-off that helped the NL grab the win.
As hosts, the Atlanta Braves also honored one of the greatest players of all time, Henry Aaron, with a touching tribute during the sixth inning that recreated his record-breaking 715th home run from 1974.
The game had plenty of top moments beforehand as well. The NL took a six-run lead into the sixth inning thanks to home runs by Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll. But the AL responded with a three-run homer by Athletics DH Brent Rooker. Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. then got the AL back within one run heading into the bottom of the ninth with a two-run hit.
Witt then scored after Guardians' Steven Kwan beat out a ground-ball for an infield hit to tie it up and send the game to the home run swing off. Schwarber then secured the victory for the NL in the swing-off with a 4-3 tally, capping off an incredible night in Atlanta.
The 2026 All-Star Game will be hosted by the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte reveals he had around 400K worth of items stolen in All-Star break burglary
Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte has opened up about the burglary that took place at his home over the All-Star break. After Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals, Marte shared that over $400,000 worth of items were stolen from his home in Scottsdale last Tuesday, and that he found out about the robbery while at his hotel in Atlanta, where he played in the All-Star Game at Truist Field. 'Not good to know you lose around $400,000,' Marte said through a translator, 'but you just gotta move on.' 3 Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte said he lost over $400,000 of items in a home robbery on July 15. X @Jake_M_Garcia After the incident, the AP reported that various personal items and pieces of jewelry had been stolen, and that there had been signs of forced entry. No one was at Marte's home at the time of the incident, police said. The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the restricted list Friday, and the 31-year-old did not play in Arizona's three-game series against the Cardinals. 3 Ketel Marte with the Diamondbacks on June 29. Getty Images 'He's dealing with a personal issue, so he asked for some time off, time away, just to get grounded and get himself back to where he can come back here and play and be a force for us,' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday. 'So it's kind of a day-to-day situation.' Marte, a second baseman, said he will return to the lineup as a DH Monday night against the Astros. The burglary is part of a difficult stretch for the three-time All-Star. 3 Arizona Diamondbacks second base Ketel Marte (4) makes the play for an out against the Seattle Mariners in the eighth inning at Chase Field on Jun. 9, 2025.

'What happened was in the seventh inning, I came to bat. I'm ready at the plate and I hear this fan shouting. He was on top of the dugout,' Marte said afterward in an interview with 'Danny Beisbol,' as translated by subtitles. 'He yelled at me, saying stuff about my mom. He was like, 'I sent your mom a text last night.' When everything happened with my mom, I was here in Chicago. I was in this city.' On the field, Marte is enjoying an impressive season, boasting a .290 average and 164 OPS+ with 19 home runs and 40 RBIs.
