All-Star Game Sites, as of 2017

Tonight, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held at Marlins Park in Miami. This is the 1st time the Midsummer Classic has been hosted by the franchise that began as the Florida Marlins in 1993 and changed their name to the Miami Marlins in 2012.

The following is a list of All-Star Games held in the various major league cities, including MLB, the National Football League (the Pro Bowl), the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer, the Women's NBA, and defunct leagues like the American Football League, the American Basketball Association and the World Hockey Association. (The old North American Soccer League, not to be confused with the current one, never held an All-Star Game.)

Despite having had an NBA team continuously since 1970, Portland has never hosted an NBA All-Star Game. Nor has Sacramento despite having one since 1985. Nor has Winnipeg ever hosted a hockey All-Star Game, despite being in the WHA 1972-1979, and the NHL 1979-1996 and again since 2011.


New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and (if the AFL is counted) San Francisco are the only cities to host them in all of the Big Four sports. If you add MLS, then it’s only New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
