The electroweak contributions to the forward-backward asymmetry in the production of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron are evaluated at O({alpha}{sup 2}) and O({alpha}{alpha}{sub s}{sup 2}). We perform a detailed analysis of all partonic channels that produce an asymmetry and combine them with the QCD contributions. They provide a non-negligible addition to the QCD-induced asymmetry with the same overall sign, thus enlarging the standard model prediction and diminishing the observed deviation. For the observed mass-dependent forward-backward asymmetry a 3{sigma} deviation still remains at an invariant-mass cut of M{sub tt}>450 GeV.
