Viewership for the major league All-Star Game hit a record low for the second straight year and the fifth time in the last seven years the game has been held, according to a report published Wednesday.
For comparison purposes, the All-Star Game averaged a 7.0 rating and 11.34 million viewers in 2014. A series of record-low numbers has followed: in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022. The game was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The report noted that the Midsummer Classic continues to have the most viewers compared to other All-Star events. The NFL’s “Pro Bowl Games” drew 6.28 million viewers, Monday night’s Home Run Derby posted 6.11 million and the NBA All-Star Game in February finished at 4.59 million.
The National League ended a nine-game losing streak by beating the American League 3-2 on Tuesday night in Seattle.
