The Giants and San Diego Padres are slated to play a two-game series in Mexico City next April, which will represent the first regular season Major League Baseball games ever played in the Mexican capital, officials announced on Wednesday.

The games will be the first games ever played by the Giants outside the U.S. and Canada.

The series will be hosted at Alfredo Harp Helu Stadium on April 29 and 30 and will serve as Padres home games.

Tickets will be available starting in early November.

San Diego and the Arizona Diamondbacks were originally supposed to play at the 20,000 seat ballpark in 2020, however the series was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Giants are not the only Bay Area sports team playing in Mexico City next season. In addition, the San Francisco 49ers are also scheduled to play at the city's Estadio Azteca on November 21 in a Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals.
