Longtime Rivals Take the London Stage

The 2024 London Series promises a thrilling experience as it brings one of MLB's best rivalries to London Stadium. The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, longtime division foes in the National League East, will clash in Europe in the third edition of the London Series. The Yankees,Red Sox, Cardinals, and Cubs have already faced off in London, setting a precedent for this exciting event.

A World Tour Stop and a Glimpse of the Future

The Mets-Phillies game in the upcoming season will be the latest stop on the MLB World Tour. After that, the London Series will return in 2026. MLB had plans to play in Paris in 2025, but these plans have been put on hold due to scheduling issues with Stade de France. The venue could not provide the necessary time to build a Major League-quality baseball field.

Baseball Superstars on the International Stage

In the 2024 London Series, European baseball fans will see some of the game's biggest superstars in action. The Mets' Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, the Phillies' Bryce Harper and Trea Turner, and other great players on both teams will grace the international stage. These players will join a growing list of MLB stars who have taken the field in London, including Aaron Judge and Mookie Betts in the inaugural 2019 series and Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado in the 2023 series.
