All-Star Red Carpet Show presented by T-Mobile – Tuesday, July 11
Hours before taking the field for the Midsummer Classic at T-Mobile Park, All-Star players, coaching staffs and their families walk the All-Star Red Carpet Show presented by T-Mobile. For the 18th edition of the show this year, and first in Seattle, MLB set its sights on an iconic host location – Pike Place Market. The 2023 All-Stars and their families get to showcase their style on a custom magenta carpet stretching 500 feet. From Pine Street to Pike Street the carpet will lead players through a crowd of select fans and media, with exclusive coverage on MLB Network. While the historic market will still be open to the public, fans are encouraged to check @Mariners social media channels and register on Mariners.com/RedCarpet for an opportunity to attend the Red Carpet Show up close.
The 2023 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard marks the third time in franchise history that the Mariners will host the Midsummer Classic, joining the 1979 contest at the Kingdome, when the National League claimed a 7-6 win, and the 2001 event at T-Mobile Park (then named Safeco Field), when the American League earned a 4-1 victory.
The All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports; in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and TVA Sports; and worldwide by 70 partners in 16 languages across 210 countries and territories. FOX Deportes will provide Spanish language coverage in the United States, while ESPN Radio and Univision Radio (Spanish) will provide exclusive national radio coverage of the All-Star Game.
