This weekend, Major League Baseball will host regular season games in London for the third time ever. The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, two teams from the NL East, have traveled across the ocean to play the two-game London Series. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees played in the 2019 London Series, which marked Major League Baseball’s maiden trip to Europe. In the 2023 London Series, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals participated.
“I think everybody is excited to go,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said earlier this week (via MLB.com). “I think this is going to be unique, and it’s going to be a great experience for everybody involved.”

The 2024 London Series will again be played at London Stadium, which was built for the 2012 London Olympics. It’s a multipurpose facility that is currently the home of the Premier League club West Ham United. London Stadium seats 62,500 for soccer matches and will seat a touch more for this weekend’s baseball games.
