MLB comes to English shores for the first time as the London Stadium hosts a New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox double header.
With basketball and American football making the same move in recent years, baseball now wants to join the party with future aspirations to hold further series across Europe.
When is MLB London?
The two-game series will take place from Saturday, June 29 to Sunday, June 30.
It will see one of the oldest and most famous rivalries come together as the New York Yankees taking on the Boston Red Sox.
Between them, they have 36 World Series titles, and will now clash in the first MLB game in Europe at the London Stadium.
The first match on Saturday will start at 6.10pm, while the second game will be held on Sunday at 3.10pm.
The current deal with Major League Baseball means Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals will clash in the English capital next year.
