Overview
- Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed the two-game series set for June 13–14, 2026 is off, speaking after Front Office Sports’ “Tuned In” event.
- MLB could not shift the games later in June because Fox lacked available broadcast windows due to its A WorFIFA World Cup coverage.
- Manfred said the league remains interested in Europe after also scrapping planned 2025 games in Paris when no promoter emerged.
- Arizona and San Diego are likely to play in Mexico City on April 25–26, 2026, as MLB continues activity in Mexico, Japan and South Korea and pursues grassroots efforts in India.
- MLB is nearing agreements in principle on 2026–28 U.S. media rights with NBCUniversal (Wild Card Series and Sunday nights), Netflix (Home Run Derby), Apple TV (regular-season games) and ESPN (a regular-season package with local rights in five markets).
