The 2025 Mexican League All-Star Game was the 91st All-Star Game of the Mexican League (LMB). Traditionally contested between the Zona Norte and Zona Sur All-Stars, the game was reformatted in celebration for the league’s 100th anniversary to feature the LMB Stars against the Mexico national baseball team. The game was hosted by the Diablos Rojos del México at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City.

Originally scheduled for 29 June, the game was interrupted by heavy rain after the first half-inning and ultimately postponed. After multiple delays, at 23:59, the league rescheduled the game for the following day, 30 June, at 16:00.

Mexico, led by manager Vinicio Castilla, won the game 4–3, defeating the All-Stars, led by manager Lorenzo Bundy. As a result of the rain delay, the game was reduced to seven innings.

Background Host selection Mexico City was announced as the host of the 2025 Mexican League All-Star Game on 25 May 2024. It marked the 33rd time the city hosted the event and the second at the Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, which previously staged the 87th edition in 2019.

Roster selections Position players for the LMB All-Stars were selected through fan balloting, while pitchers were chosen by manager Lorenzo Bundy, who led the Diablos Rojos del México to the 2024 championship. The Mexico national team roster was selected by manager Benji Gil, who was later replaced by Vinicio Castilla for personal reasons. Rosters were announced on 18 June.

Rain delay The game was originally scheduled for 29 June at 19:00; however, due to heavy rain, only one half-inning was played before it was suspended. During the delay, the league organized activities for fans, including a mascot show and fireworks, but persistent rain led some spectators to leave the stadium. After approximately four hours, close to midnight, the league announced that the game would resume the following day, 30 June, at 16:00.

The decision was criticized by fans, who argued that better precautions should have been taken, given that summers in Mexico City are typically rainy and that the weather forecast for the weekend of 29 June indicated an 80% chance of rain. Many spectators had traveled from outside the city, including as far as Navojoa, Sonora and Torreón, Coahuila, spending over 15,000 MXN (roughly 780–800 USD) on tickets, travel, accommodations and related expenses. The PROFECO, the Federal Consumer Attorney’s Office, announced that fans could request a full refund, including service fees, or retain their tickets for the rescheduled game.

As a result of the postponement, the rescheduled game on 30 June drew only 5,890 spectators, a significant decrease from the crowd present on 29 June before the suspension.
