Reports: ‘Field of Dreams’ game to return in 2026

If you host it, people will come.
USA Today, The Athletic and The Telegraph Herald tabbed the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies as opponents for the game. The date will be announced this Tuesday, along with the entire 2026 MLB schedule.
The venue, famous for its association with a film about baseball, family and spirituality and recognizable by its usage of corn fields serving as the outfield, was converted into a venue capable of hosting larger crowds in advance of MLB choosing to host a regular season game there in 2021.
The facility went through ownership changes following MLB’s last game at the location, a 2022 Chicago Cubs 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The prior year, the league hosted its inaugural game at the venue, a memorable 9-8 walk-off win for the Chicago White Sox over the New York Yankees.
The ownership shift led to additional changes at the venue, such as the addition of new youth fields for baseball and softball teams. The ongoing construction likely spurred the MLB into seeking alternative creative locations for games, such as last year’s tribute to the Negro Leagues held in Birmingham and this season’s game at Bristol Motor Speedway.
