The Nationals have yet to host the All-Star Game in Washington, D.C. However the franchise did host it in 1982 when it was the Montreal Expos. The All-Star Game was hosted in D.C. by the Washington Senators four times, most recently in 1969 at RFK Stadium.

The 2015 All-Star Game will be played in Cincinnati at the Reds' Great American Ballpark.
