Why You Can Trust CNET MLB All-Star Game 2022: How to Watch Tonight Without Cable
The stars will be out tonight in Los Angeles for baseball's All-Star Game, and you don't need cable to watch all the action on Fox.
Major League Baseball has arrived at its midpoint and All-Star break. Last night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals won the Home Run Derby over Seattle Mariners rookie sensation Julio Rodríguez. Tonight, baseball's brightest stars will play in the All-Star Game. In a stadium where Sandy Koufax dominated for nearly a decade, it's fitting that a pair of left-handers will start the Midsummer Classic. The Dodgers' own Clayton Kershaw will start on the mound for the National League opposite Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan for the American League.
The MLB All-Star Game starts on Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) on Fox. Here's how you can watch all of the festivities without cable.
Two-way star Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels will hit but likely won't pitch in the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
