Sports Media Watch reported that Tuesday's game
averaged a 3.9 rating and 7.01 million viewers on FOX (7.09
million when including all platforms). The previous low of the
ratings was 4.2, and an average of 7.51 million viewers watched
the ASG in 2022.
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.
