The game was played on July 11, 1978 at San Diego Stadium in San Diego, California, home of the San Diego Padres of the National League. The game resulted in a 7-3 victory for the NL.

This was the first All-Star Game to be played in San Diego. It would return in 1992 to be played in the same stadium, though it was renamed "Jack Murphy Stadium" by that time.
