New food and exclusive items as Philadelphia gears up for 2026 All-Star Game

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Citizens Bank Park is rolling out fresh merchandise and on-field branding as the city prepares to host the 2026 All-Star Game, a milestone event organizers say has been seven years in the making.

The outfield now features the official All-Star Game 2026 logo, part of what Major League Baseball leaders describe as a celebration of the sport's biggest stars and Philadelphia's role in the festivities.

"It's really a big part of what we're doing. We were excited to join Philadelphia's efforts and making the 250th a big deal, and the All-Star game here does exactly that," said Jeremiah Yolkut, senior vice president of global operations and events for MLB.

New gear, including collectible pins, is available exclusively at the team store inside Citizens Bank Park, adding to the fanfare surrounding the week's events.

Programming will stretch across the city, beginning Friday.

"We'll start here at the ballpark on Friday for the HBCU classic and we'll run all the way through Tuesday at the All-Star game, but a lot of great programming in between," said Aaron Kaplan of MLB.

Yolkut said the celebration extends well beyond the stadium.

"We'll be at the Convention Center for the draft on Saturday. We'll have the All-Star village there over the course of Saturday through Tuesday. We'll be at Independence Hall for the red carpet show, and we'll just be woven throughout the city," he said.

Inside the ballpark, fans will find an expanded food lineup, including Sanchez sliders, a revolutionary rib sandwich, ribs on the bone, a classic cheesesteak and a lamb hot dog topped with feta and pickles.

Whether fans arrive hungry or eager to pick up a commemorative cup, organizers say All-Star week will offer plenty to enjoy as Philadelphia welcomes baseball's biggest stage.
