This is Major League Baseball’s third trip over the Atlantic for the London Series. This is all the information you require as the All-American game travels overseas this coming weekend.
Who participates in the series?
Classic MLB rivalries have been present in previous London Series: The New York Yankees versus the Boston Red Sox was the main event of the 2019 edition, and the Chicago Cubs versus the St. Louis Cardinals was the focus of the 2023 London Series (which was postponed from 2020).
The two NL East rivals will square off for the second time this season when they play the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. In May, the Phillies prevailed in their series, winning three of the four games. At 44-19, Philadelphia presently owns the second-best record in baseball, while the Mets, at 27-35, are eight games below.500.
How can I watch the games, and when are they?
On June 8 and June 9, the two clubs will square off in a two-game series. The games begin at 1:10 p.m. ET on Saturday and 10:10 a.m. ET on Sunday. In the first game, the Phillies will be the home team, while in the second, it will be the Mets.
Fox will broadcast the first game, while ESPN will broadcast the second, and both games will be accessible via cable and streaming.
The games are being played where? There aren’t many MLB-caliber baseball fields in England, despite baseball being America’s favorite sport. Because of this, the games this weekend will be played on a specially-made baseball field that is being built within London Stadium. Part of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the entire complex was constructed for the 2012 Olympics, including the 68,000-seat stadium.
MLB converted the West Ham United soccer pitch into a baseball diamond, laying down dirt and turf to completely transform the stadium and make it game-ready for this weekend.
