The Minor League Baseball Umpires who will work the All-Star Futures Game are Triple-A Umpires Dereck Pacheco and Alex Shears, and Double-A Umpires Tyler Hovick and Shane Sullivan. All four umpires will also be on the field for MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3, which follows the All-Star Futures Game on All-Star Sunday, and for the T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday, July 13th.

The 2026 All-Star Futures Game, which is scheduled for seven innings, will once again feature the NL vs. AL format, which was introduced in 2019 following 20 years of U.S. vs. World matchups.

With the victory, the NL won a third consecutive contest and improved to 4-1-1 under the current format. Among all previous Futures Game participants, 86.8% have gone on to play at least one Major League game, while 259 total players thus far (21.3%) have been selected to play in at least one Major League All-Star Game.

A pair of Philadelphia Phillies franchise icons will be featured as managers with two-time All-Star and 2008 World Series Champion Shane Victorino leading the NL team while five-time All-Star, 1980 World Series Champion and former Phillies manager Larry Bowa guides the AL squad. Among those serving as coaches at the Futures Game are two-time All-Star and Gold Glove Award winner Michael Bourn; Mike Fetters; five-time All-Star Adam Jones; 2011 AL All-Star Brandon League; three-time All-Star Juan Samuel; Kanekoa Texeira; Hall of Famer and seven-time All-Star Billy Wagner; and two-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner Kolten Wong.
