Update: Phillies and Twins headed to the Field of Dreams in 2026

If you build it, they will come and in 2026, it’s going to be Phillies and Twins fans making the trip out to the cornfields of Iowa.

After Bob Nightengale of USA Today, initially reported that Major League Baseball was bringing back the Field of Dreams game for the first time since 2022, with the Phillies and Mets squaring off in Dyersville, Iowa next June, it was then corrected to the Minnesota Twins, not the Mets, playing the Phillies.

Fucking Bob Nightengale. Shoulda known.

A Return to One of MLB’s Best Ideas

The Field of Dreams setup sits next to the original field from the 1989 Kevin Costner film. MLB built an 8,000-seat stadium out in the middle of Iowa farmland, and when they first hosted the game in 2021, it was absolute magic.

Tim Anderson walking it off for the White Sox into the corn against the Yankees is still one of the most iconic regular-season baseball moments ever.

Since then? Nothing.

Cubs-Reds played there in 2022, but MLB let three years go by without using one of the coolest ideas they’ve ever had… until now.

The Bigger Picture

The 2026 season is already loaded for Philly. The MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, the FIFA World Cup coming to the Linc, and now a Field of Dreams game. The Phillies are being positioned as one of MLB’s marquee franchises, and this is just another sign of it.
