When I talk to other baseball fans, or just fans of sports movies in general, I don’t think there are many, if any, that don’t include the 1989 classic “Field of Dreams” in their Top 10 sports movies lists, and most have it in the top 5.
For me, it sits on top of my list, which is why I loved it when they started playing Major League Baseball games at the Field of Dreams site. The first game was on August 12, 2021, between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees, followed by the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs playing on August 11, 2022.
The inaugural edition of MLB at Field of Dreams was named “Sports Event of the Year” by Sports Business Journal, and it earned a Sports Emmy Award for FOX Sports as Outstanding Live Special. It was also the sport’s most-watched regular-season game on any network in 16 years.
Now, Major League Baseball is ready to return to Iowa in 2026, which is very exciting for Minnesota Twins fans because Minnesota will be playing in the third edition of “MLB at Field of Dreams.” More great news arrived this week when the Twins announced that the game would be televised globally.

On Thursday, August 13, the Minnesota Twins will play the Philadelphia Phillies in the third edition of “MLB at Field of Dreams,” which will mark one of the signature games of the 2026 regular season.

MLB Network’s Emmy Award-winning production team will produce MLB at Field of Dreams in partnership with Netflix’s production team.
This event will be a Twins home date, with the Thursday game followed by a Friday off-day before the Clubs resume their three-game set at Target Field in Minneapolis on Saturday.
“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,” said Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr.
