PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The 2026 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia is just days away.

Five players will represent the Phillies, including Brandon Marsh (starter), pitchers Jhoan Duran and Cristopher Sánchez, first baseman Bryce Harper and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber were all selected to the National League roster.

The 2026 festivities will kick off on July 10 with the HBCU Swingman Classic and culminate in the 96th edition of the Midsummer Classic on July 14.

The National League will look for a second consecutive victory over the American League after winning last year in a first-ever, Home Run Derby-style swing-off -- the tiebreaker, as the game was tied 6-6 after nine innings.

The Phillies are hosting the All-Star Game for the fourth time in their history -- but it will be the first time at Citizens Bank Park.
