PHILADELPHIA, P.A. —Prepare for blasts, bombs and big flies at the Bank.
On Monday night, Citizens Bank Park will play host to the 2026 Home Run Derby, MLB’s crown jewel event of All-Star weekend. This year’s event, featuring eight top sluggers, stands out for multiple reasons — including some changes.
Not only will Netflix be the exclusive home of the Home Run Derby for the first time, but new rules are also being implemented. While a similar bracket style remains, instead of a running timer for each hitter, they’ll have a finite number of swings available to maximize their homer total.
This year’s Derby field is also loaded with star power. Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber will both be attempting to win the trophy in front of their home fans, while White Sox rookie sensation Munetaka Murakami, mighty Rays third baseman Junior Caminero and breakout Yankees slugger Ben Rice pose some of the top threats. Jordan Walker, Willson Contreras and Jac Caglianone round out the field, which will aim to put some dents in Citizens Bank Park’s bleachers.
