By Shawn Stewart

MLB will return to Dyersville, Iowa next year for the third Field of Dreams Game on the site made famous by the 1989 film starring Kevin Costner.

The Philadelphia Phillies will play the Minnesota Twins in the showcase event to be played in August, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports. Minnesota will be the home team. The exact date for the game will be revealed when the 2026 MLB schedule is released Tuesday. The previous two events were played on the second Thursday in August.

MLB will play a regular-season game at the Field of Dreams site for the first time in four years. The inaugural event in 2021 featured the New York Yankees playing the Chicago White Sox. Tim Anderson hit a walk-off home run to give the White Sox a 9-8 victory.

The following year, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals played in Dyersville, with the Cubs getting a 4-2 win.

The MLB regular season has featured games and series played at alternate sites since 2016, including Japan, South Korea and Puerto Rico, while also playing the annual Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
