Some important dates to keep in mind, the 2025 MLB All-Star game is on Tuesday, July 15. The 2025 MLB Draft takes place right before the All-Star game, on July 13-15. The 2025 Home Run Derby is on July 14, the night before the big game. The 2025 World Series doesn’t have a set date yet, but it will likely be around October 25, 2025.
