2027 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL ALL-STAR GAME AWARDED TO WILD THINGS, EQT PARK

WASHINGTON, Pa. (November 10) – The National Association of Professional Baseball and the Washington Wild Things have announced today that Washington, Pennsylvania, has been selected to host the league’s All-Star Game in 2027. The All-Star celebration and festivities run during the league’s break in mid-July, with the All-Star Game scheduled for Wednesday, July 14. With the announcement, the Wild Things become the first team in league history to be awarded the All-Star Game a fourth time. The team last hosted during its 20th season in 2022.

"We are proud to join in the celebration of the Wild Things' 25th anniversary season by bringing our premier event back to EQT Park,” said National Association of Professional Baseball Commissioner Steve Tahsler. “Given the strong support that Washington's fans have shown throughout the club's history, it is appropriate that Washington is the first team to be awarded the All-Star Game a fourth time."

The National Association of Professional Baseball, formerly known through the 2026 championship season as the Frontier League, is the country’s largest and longest-running independent baseball league and an MLB Partner League. It includes 20 teams for the 2027 season, with the addition of the Cleburne Railroaders and Kane County Cougars to an already expansive footprint that includes 11 US states and two Canadian provinces.

“Hosting the first All-Star Game under the National Association of Professional Baseball banner is a tremendous opportunity for our organization, our ballpark and our great community to shine on a league-wide stage,” said Vice President of Baseball Operations and Broadcaster, Kyle Dawson. “As the league continues to grow and expand, we’re excited to welcome players, coaches, executives and fans from across the league to EQT Park and show them what makes the Wild Things, Washington County and tri-state region so special. We’re looking forward to making the entire celebration about much more than just baseball with chances for the region to shine and our community to benefit in a big way.”

The league will get into town Monday, July 12 with plans for EQT Park to host festivities Tuesday, July 13 and the All-Star Game Wednesday, July 14. Details on the festivities will be released as they are finalized. The game itself will feature a matchup between the Midwest and Atlantic Conferences, comprised of the league’s 20 teams.

Wednesday’s game will start at 7:05 p.m. with pre-game introductions set for close to 6:45 p.m. More pregame details will be shared as the event draws near. The teams will sport special All-Star Game uniforms that will be auctioned on DASH, the Wild Things’ jersey auction partner, allowing for fans at the game and not in the stadium

to bid.

Tickets for the All-Star Game and Tuesday festivities will go on sale later. As details become available for public release, they will be shared on the Wild Things’ social media platforms and at washingtonwildthings.com.
