Get ready for a couple of nights without baseball. Here's why there are no MLB games immediately after the All-Star Game.

The league hasn’t announced a date or host city for the ’28 All-Star Game yet, but All-Star Games typically fall on a mid-July Tuesday, making July 11, 2028 a likely date. That would be three days before the Olympic opening ceremony on July 14, potentially creating a longer downtime than the league or players want.

Major League Baseball’s rosters are littered with talent from all over the globe. In 2028, many of those players might find themselves competing with each other for the ultimate international prize: an Olympic gold medal.
