The Philadelphia Phillies face the New York Mets in the second game of the London Series on Sunday, June 9, 2024 (6/9/24) at London Stadium in London, England.

It’s a marriage that has worked. The city boasts of a big economic impact, and MLB gains more international exposure. Taking it to the next level involves “planning, putting the event together, venues, promoters, et cetera,” he said. “It would have been impossible to actually stage the MLB games during the weekend that they had in mind,” Stade de France director of development and strategy Florent Coulon said, citing the French Cup final in late May and soccer national team commitments afterward.
London Stadium, where Usain Bolt won gold at the 2012 London Olympics, is big enough to configure into a baseball field. Theis in overdrive — made easier by being able to pop into soccer stadiums around the world. Even cricket venues tend to be too small for baseball. MLB’s “growing partnership” with the BBC resulted in distributing the first World Series game on BBC digital platforms last year, the league said. That’s after the BBC signed a deal in late 2022 to begin showing some games, including the London series, each season.
