"People will come Ray." And those people are sure to be Twins fans after a pretty exciting announcement for local baseball fans - or 80's movie fans?
The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies will be taking to the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa next season on Thursday, August 13th, 2026.
They built a real life Field of Dreams set for the 1989 movie of the same name, starring Kevin Costner. The field and complex has been a tourist destination over the last three-plus decades and MLB in recent years has embraced the location and scheduled games there in 2021 and 2022.
“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," says MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. " We look forward to working with Netflix and creating an event that all sports fans can enjoy.”
After some construction in 2023 and no game in 2024, MLB is returning to Dyersville for the 2026 game between the Twins and Phillies.
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. It'll be broadcast on Netflix, and of course it'll be live on 830 WCCO and via the Audacy App so fans can listen to the game if they don't have Netflix.
“The Minnesota Twins are thrilled to be playing in the return of MLB at Field of Dreams," said Twins Executive Chair Joe Pohlad. " Taking the field in Dyersville, where so much of baseball’s magic comes alive, is special for our club and for our fans in Iowa. August 13, 2026 will be a true celebration of our sport and a memorable day in Twins history.”
Once again, a Minor League Baseball game will accompany MLB at Field of Dreams. On August 11, 2026, the Iowa Cubs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, will host the Twins' St. Paul Saints, the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins. This will mark the second Minor League Baseball game played in Dyersville, as the Midwest League’s Cedar Rapids Kernels (Twins’ High-A affiliate) played the Quad Cities River Bandits (Kansas City Royals’ High-A affiliate) in Dyersville on August 9, 2022.
