The 2025 MLB All-Star Game is finally here, and we've got everything you need to know if you're going to Truist Park to enjoy the show.

Why it matters: The annual face-off between the American League and the National League, which starts at 8pm, is a chance for players and fans to set aside rivalries and just enjoy some baseball.

The latest: You can still get tickets to the game, but it's going to cost you.

Ticketmaster shows the starting price for one ticket is $220 for standing-room-only access. A ticket that includes a seat begins at $330.

Zoom in: During the game, the MLB will pay tribute to Hank Aaron's history-breaking 715th home run that shattered the previous record set by Babe Ruth.

The league will recreate the hit by using projection mapping and pyrotechnics at the end of the sixth inning or later (depending on the lighting situation).
For the first time, MLB will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System, which tracks a pitch's path and location to determine whether it was a strike or a ball when it crosses the plate.
Some players will be equipped with two-way microphones while they are on the field so they can chat with broadcasters.
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Braves legends Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones and Andrés Galarraga, who were all on the National League team when Atlanta hosted the All-Star Game at Turner Field in 2000.

The roster: Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. is slated to be among the starting players on the National League team while fellow Brave Chris Sale is among the starting pitchers.

According to the AJC, Acuña will bat second for the National League after sitting out Monday's Home Run Derby.

Braves first baseman Matt Olson is on the reserves list.

But first, let's dance: Before the big show, a pre-game music celebration featuring Atlanta's Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris will start at 7pm.

The duo will introduce players for the 2025 game "in a unique hometown tribute to honor the city's influence on global music with a medley inspired by Atlanta's music stars," MLB previously said.
They will be joined on stage by Clark Atlanta University's Mighty Marching Panthers and Essence Dance Line.
Other musicians performing include the Zac Brown Band, Kane Brown and Lauren Spencer Smith.

How to watch: You can catch the 95th All-Star Game on Fox and Fox Sports.
