Host selection The Dodgers were awarded the 2022 MLB All-Star Game after the
2020 contest, which they were originally scheduled to host, was canceled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. This marked the first time in 42 years (and fourth time overall) that the Dodgers hosted an All-Star Game, the previous occurrences being in
1949 at
Ebbets Field in
Brooklyn (when the franchise played as the
Brooklyn Dodgers),
1959 at
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and
1980 at Dodger Stadium.
Roster selections The starting rosters for each league's position players plus
designated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. New in 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office"—were announced on July 10. The final roster size of each team was planned to be 32 players.
All-Star legacy selections MLB announced on July 8 that
Albert Pujols and
Miguel Cabrera had been added as the 33rd player for the NL and AL, respectively, in celebration of their career achievements. This was the 11th All-Star selection for Pujols and the 12th for Cabrera.
Logo and uniforms The 2020 All-Star Game logo was shaped after the hexagonal DodgerVision video boards at Dodger Stadium, with gold-trimmed Art Deco lettering as a nod to
Hollywood. After MLB reassigned the Dodgers the 2022 game as compensation for the 2020 cancellation, the only change to the logo was the date. Uniforms for the American League were in dark gray, while uniforms for the National League were in white. Team logos and letters were in gold with black trim. Caps were black featuring each team's logo in gold and black embellishments, along with a gold star. ==Rosters==
