MLB All-Star Week 2025: How to watch the Home Run Derby

The 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby, part of MLB All-Star Week, will take place at Truist Park in Atlanta this Monday night at 8 p.m. ET. If you're unfamiliar with the format of the derby, eight players from both the National and American Leagues compete over three rounds to hit the most home runs. In the first round, each hitter has three minutes or 40 pitches (whichever comes first) to hit as many homers as possible. The four top players with the most home runs advance to the semifinals, a knockout round where two players go head to head in groups of two. In the final round, the top two home run hitters of the night face off and one is crowned the winner. (Last year's champion, Teoscar Hernandez of the L.A. Dodgers, has announced that he's not participating this year to avoid the risk of injury.)
