How to watch the MLB All-Star Game for free
With the 2026 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 typically cost around $20–$60, and that’s 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 for its 60-mile range and included amplifier. But you can check out other great antennas on our Best OTA Antennas 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.
