For the first time in four years, Major League Baseball is returning to Iowa.<\/p>\n

The Phillies and Twins will play a regular-season game sometime in August 2026 in a revival of the league\u2019s Field of Dreams game held at Dyersville, Iowa, multiple major-league sources said. It will be a home game for Minnesota.<\/p>\n

MLB will reveal its 2026 schedule Tuesday. The actual date of the Phillies-Twins game is to be determined.<\/p>\n

The game will mark the first time since 2022 that big-league baseball will be played in the iconic cornfield made famous by a 1989 movie starring Kevin Costner. The temporary ballpark used for a 2021 game between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox and a 2022 game between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals was dismantled. The site has since been sold. A permanent stadium was constructed; it\u2019s expected to seat far fewer people than the roughly 7,800 fans who attended the first two iterations of the game.<\/p>\n

This will mark the Twins\u2019 first appearance in one of the league\u2019s alternate-site games since a 2018 trip to Puerto Rico. The Phillies have played regular-season specials twice in Williamsport, Pa., at the Little League Classic (2018 and 2023) and traveled to London for two games in 2024.<\/p>\n

The league has expanded its domestic special events, staging one-off regular-season games in Tennessee<\/a> and Alabama in each of the last two summers. But, with the new stadium, the Field of Dreams game may become a regular event, much like the league\u2019s annual Little League Classic.<\/p>\n
