The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets will play a pair of games in London next season as part of MLB’s International Series, according to multiple reports.
As MLB looks to expand its presence around the globe, the London Series has become an important part of that strategy − with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals playing two games there this June.
The Phillies-Mets games are scheduled to take place June 8-9, 2024 at London Stadium − with plans also in the works for a series in Paris in 2025, Sports Illustrated reports − before MLB returns to London in 2026.
As part of MLB’s latest collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association, regular season games will be played at multiple international sites each year of the five-year contract, which extends through 2026.
