Notes

Canceled games

In May 2019, MLB announced that the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals would play a two-game series in London in June 2020, to be known as the 2020 MLB London Series. Additionally, in December 2019, the league announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres would play a two-game series in Mexico City in April 2020. These would have been the first regular-season MLB games in Mexico City.[32] Both of these series were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[33][34]

Games played in Puerto Rico

Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has hosted 49 MLB games since 2001.[1] As Puerto Rico is a United States commonwealth, these games are not included in the above table.

The Montreal Expos played 43 "home" games at Estadio Hiram Bithorn during 2003 and 2004.[35] Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).

Excluding Expos games, below is a list of neutral-site games played in Puerto Rico:

In August 2019, MLB announced a three-game series between the New York Mets and Miami Marlins at Estadio Hiram Bithorn to be played in April 2020.[42] This series was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[33]

MLB World Tour

As part of the collective bargaining agreement to end the 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout, MLB announced a plan to have additional games played internationally, including regular-season games in Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, London, and Paris between 2023 and 2026.[43] Beginning with the 2023 season, games outside the U.S. and Canada are branded as "MLB World Tour".[2] Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).

The Mexico City series was first contested in 2023, at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú. The San Diego Padres won both games against the San Francisco Giants.[44]

In 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers will open their season against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, making it the first time a regular season game has been played in Korea.[45] Other MLB World Tour games during 2024 are: the Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City on April 27–28; the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies at London Stadium in London on June 8–9; and the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays during spring training at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo on March 9–10.[46][47][48]

MLB plans to host games at the Stade de France, just outside Paris, starting in 2025. The games will be the first MLB regular-season games to be contested in mainland Europe. The new Stade de France series is intended to alternate with the London series, which began in 2019 and resumed in 2023 following a three-season pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MLB plans to hold games in London in 2024, followed by Paris in 2025, and then in London again in 2026.[49] The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees have informed MLB that they would like to participate in the 2025 Paris series.[50][51]
