Host Selection
Atlanta was awarded the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game on May 30, 2019 by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.[1] It will be the first time that Truist Park will host the game. This will be the first All-Star Game after the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 All-Star Game which was supposed to be held in Los Angeles was canceled. As compensation, Los Angeles will get the All-Star Game in 2022.[2]
