MLB LONDON TICKETS 2024

All You Need To Know About MLB London

The MLB London Series brings Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season games to London Stadium in England. Initially planned for 2019 and 2020, sponsored by Mitel as Mitel & MLB Present London Series, it marked MLB's first games in Europe with the Boston Red Sox hosting the New York Yankees in 2019. The 2020 games between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs were canceled due to COVID-19. Recently renewed, the series will continue in 2023, 2024, and 2026 as the MLB World Tour: London Series, part of MLB's international games initiative.

Finding a suitable venue for a baseball field in London was challenging due to the city's focus on soccer stadiums. After evaluating options, including cricket grounds like The Oval, MLB chose London Stadium, originally built for the 2012 Olympics, for its potential to host baseball games. To adapt the venue, MLB installed a new baseball field over the existing track and pitch, reconfigured seating for a more intimate feel, and built larger MLB-style clubhouses. The dimensions, including a 16-foot fence and hitter-friendly distances of 330 feet to the foul poles and 385 feet to center field, were adjusted slightly for the 2023 series to enhance the playing experience.
