Fox announced that the Midsummer Classic, one that was held at Dodger Stadium for the first time in 42 years, drew 7.507 million viewers, a 10% decline from the 2021 viewership of the game. It was the first time the game produced a viewership of less than eight million, according to Sports Media Watch.
The 2021 All-Star game in Denver averaged a 4.5 rating and 8.32 million viewers on Fox, which was down 7% in ratings and 10% in viewership from ’20.
