What is MLB London Series?
The MLB London Series sees two iconic baseball teams move their two-game regular-season series to the UK as part of the MLB World Tour.
The games get played across a weekend this June, with thousands of UK-based baseball fans expected to pour into the capital.
This will be MLB’s third time in London, having first come to the UK into 2019 before being interrupted by a period of cancellations due to COVID-19. The series then returned last year with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs facing each other at the London Stadium.

MLB London is taking place across two games on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June.
Which teams are playing in the MLB London Series 2024?
This year’s MLB London will see the New York Mets face the Philadelphia Phillies with baseball stars such as Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos all in attendance.
The teams will be bringing their iconic rivalry to UK soil for the very first time.
The Met-Phillies rivalry – also known as Battle of the Broads after Broadway in New York and Broad Street in Philadelphia – has been one of the fiercest in NL baseball ever since the Mets won their Playoff division in 2006, only to have the Phillies win five in a row from 2007 – 2011.
In the years following, the two teams would continue to try and top each other with their last encounter in June seeing the Phillies go 5-1 up. Now, there’s scores to settle and London fans will get to see it firsthand.

MLB London Series 2024 times: What time does it start?
On Saturday 8th, gates to the stadium will open at 3pm and the first pitch is at 6.10pm. The average baseball game these lasts between two and half and three hours so you’re not likely to get out of there before 10.
If you’d rather go with an earlier start then we’d suggest going on Sunday 9th. Gates will open at 12pm, with the first pitch taking place at 3.10pm.
