The previous two installments of the “Field of Dreams” game were both met with incredible warmth from fans. In fact, the first edition in 2021 was labeled “Sports Event of the Year” by the Sports Business Journal. At the time, the game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox was the most-watched regular season MLB game on any platform in 16 years.

Why wasn’t there a ‘Field of Dreams’ game the last three years?
Various circumstances prevented the league from having a game in Dyersville the last three years. In 2023, there was abundant construction around the field, but neither the league nor the field’s owners ever ruled out the possibility of games returning in the future.
In 2024 and 2025, the “Field of Dreams” game was replaced with a pair of different special events, including a “Tribute to the Negro Leagues” game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and another similar game at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.
