Overview

  • The reported matchup places Philadelphia as host to New York in mid-June 2026 at the iconic Iowa cornfield, with the full MLB schedule expected Tuesday.
  • It would be the first Field of Dreams game at the site since 2022, when the Cubs defeated the Reds.
  • The Phillies and Mets have traded the NL East lead this season, and Philadelphia recently lost ace Zack Wheeler to season-ending surgery.
  • MLB has tested other midseason showcase venues in recent years, including a Negro Leagues tribute at Rickwood Field and a game at Bristol Motor Speedway.
  • If finalized, the 2026 contest would be the third Major League game played at the Field of Dreams location, with no edition taking place in 2025.
