A Return to Iowa’s Field of Dreams
Major League Baseball (MLB) is gearing up for another magical day at the legendary Field of Dreams, returning to Dyersville, Iowa, on August 13, 2026. This marks the first time since 2022 that MLB will grace this iconic site with a game, bringing back memories and creating new ones.
The Lineup: Twins vs. Phillies
For the 2026 Field of Dreams game, fans can look forward to a matchup between the Minnesota Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Twins will be hosting this home game as part of an exciting three-game series against their rivals.
A Unique Experience with Netflix Partnership
This year’s event is not only about the on-field action but also about the off-field entertainment. MLB has announced a new partnership with Netflix, which will broadcast the game and other related events. In addition to the Major League game, an exhibition match between Triple-A St. Paul and Iowa, Minor League affiliates of the Twins and Cubs respectively, is scheduled for August 11.
Excitement from All Sides
The excitement surrounding this event is palpable. Joe Pohlad, executive chair of the Minnesota Twins, expressed his enthusiasm about playing in Dyersville once again. “The Minnesota Twins are thrilled to be playing in the return of MLB at Field of Dreams,” he said. “Taking the field in Dyersville, where so much of baseball’s magic comes alive, is special for our club and for our fans in Iowa.” Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa echoed this sentiment, adding that “Iowa is thrilled to welcome MLB and its players back to the iconic Field of Dreams and a new permanent stadium for one of America’s favorite baseball traditions.”
A Tradition Renewed
The 2026 game will be the latest in a series of MLB games at non-traditional venues, including the Fort Bragg Game in 2016, MLB in Omaha (2019), MLB at Rickwood Field (2024), and the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway (2025). This tradition not only adds to the charm of baseball but also provides fans with unique experiences that they will never forget.
With all these details in place, anticipation is building for what promises to be a memorable day at the Field of Dreams. As Commissioner Rob Manfred put it, “Major League Baseball is excited to return to Iowa in 2026 and to deliver a unique experience to the Twins, the Phillies, their players, our two Minor League teams, and fans across the game.” The stage is set for another unforgettable chapter in the storied history of MLB at Field of Dreams.
