The AL West is prepared to host the Midsummer Classic's ensuing two iterations. Globe Life Field in Arlington will host the 2024 MLB All-Star Game thanks to the Texas Rangers' successful proposal.

"We are excited to once again feature baseball’s newest ballpark on a global stage next summer," said the commissioner Rob Manfred.

On Tuesday, July 11, 2023, the divisional foe Seattle Mariners will host baseball's premier summer event at T-Mobile Park, with Texas poised to serve as host a year later.

The Texas Rangers last hosted the All-Star Game in 1995, when the team played at the nearby Choctaw Stadium, which was known as the Ballpark in Arlington at the time. Ivan Rodriguez, a catcher with the Rangers, started for the American League in that All-Star Game, which the National League won 3-2.
