How to watch the MLB All-Star Game for free

With the 2023 MLB All-Star Game airing on FOX, you can tune in for free using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. The antenna itself isn’t free, but the one-time purchase will grant you free access to every local channel within range.

Our favorite indoor antennas cost around $20–$60—an excellent investment for baseball fans. After all, you’ll need FOX again to watch select MLB playoff games and the entire World Series.

We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 ($47.99 on Amazon*) for its 60-mile range and included amplifier. But you can check out other great antennas on our Best Antennas for Cord-Cutters page.

Pro tip: You can verify which local channels are within the range of your home by entering your zip code in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool.

If you’re looking for more MLB All-Star Week coverage, head to our Best Streaming Services for Sports guide. There, you’ll find a wide variety of live TV streaming services that offer MLB Network and ESPN. Some services—like fuboTV and YouTube TV—even offer free trials that you can take advantage of for the Midsummer Classic.

MLB All-Star Game rosters

As the American League All-Stars face off against the National League All-Stars, each team will feature a 33-player roster. That’s one roster spot more than usual because of a new rule implemented in the league’s 2022 collective bargaining agreement.

From now on, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred will select a legacy player from each conference. The St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols and Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera were the 2022 legacy selections.

While we won’t know the 2023 All-Star rosters for a while, here are the 2022 lineups.
