Phillies Place Six Players on NL All‑Star Roster as Philadelphia Opens All‑Star Week

Heavy local representation drives fan interest while new events and split broadcast plans will change how people watch and attend the five‑day festival.

Overview

Six Philadelphia Phillies were named to the National League All‑Star roster: starter Brandon Marsh plus pitchers Jhoan Duran, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo and sluggers Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber.
All‑Star Week has begun with fan programming and a multi‑day schedule of events that include the HBCU Swingman Classic, the MLB Draft, the Futures Game, a new MLBx 3‑on‑3 event, the Home Run Derby and the All‑Star Game.
MLBx’s new All‑Star 3‑on‑3 replaces the celebrity game as a coed, power‑hitting matchup held after the Futures Game and designed to showcase legends and former players in a short home‑run competition format.
Media coverage is split across partners — Fox, MLB Network, NBC/Peacock and reports that Netflix will stream the Home Run Derby — and some distribution details have been reported by secondary outlets and remain unconfirmed by MLB.
Philadelphia is hosting the All‑Star Game for the fourth time but the first at Citizens Bank Park, and city activations like the Capital One All‑Star Village at the Pennsylvania Convention Center aim to boost local fan access and economic activity.
