MLB London Series history
The MLB London Series debuted in 2019 with MLB's fiercest rivalry, as the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees made the trek. The two-game series featured plenty of offense, as the Yankees won the opener 17-13 before the Red Sox bounced back with a 12-8 victory.
MLB was supposed to go back to London in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic and other delays pushed the second edition of the series to 2023. It featured another split between longtime rivals, as the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals each took one game.
2024 MLB international schedule
London will be the fourth and final international stop for MLB this season (outside of Toronto).
The Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays kicked things off with a spring training series in the Dominican Republic in March. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres then opened up the MLB regular season in Seoul, South Korea, on March 20-21. The Houston Astros and Colorado Rockies also broke out their passports for the Mexico City Series in April.
