The 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is the 93rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game, held between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The game is at T-Mobile Park (formerly Safaco Field) in Seattle, Washington (home of the Seattle Mariners).

This ASG is on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at 8:00pm EDT (5:00pm PDT locally). It is going to be televised on FOX. The players will wear the All-Star baseball jerseys, not their respective team jerseys (like they did in the 2023 Home Run Derby).

If the 2023 MLB ASG ends with a tie after 9 full innings, the tiebreaking "HR Derby" will take place instead of extra innings. Three players from each league team will take 3 swings each. A team with more combined home runs will win the tiebreaker and will get the league team to win the 2023 ASG.
