MLB All-Star Game 2023: Time, TV channel, live stream for Midsummer Classic in Seattle

Major League Baseball's 93rd All-Star Game is Tuesday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. It's the first time the ballpark has hosted the Midsummer Classic since 2001.

This year rosters are full of veterans, such as Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, but there are 33 first-time All-Stars. There are also 31 internationally born All-Stars, 19 on the AL roster and 12 on the NL roster.

If the game between the American and National Leagues is tied after nine innings, there will be a home run derby to determine the winner. Each team would send three hitters to the plate, getting three swings each – and the team with the most total homers wins.

The American League has won the last nine All-Star games and leads the overall series 47-43-2.

Here's everything you need to know for the game:

Does the All-Star Game still decide home-field advantage in the World Series?

No. The All-Star Game is a true exhibition, and home-field advantage in the Fall Classic is given to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.
