MLB Sets 2027 Field of Dreams, 2028 All-Star Game Amid Labor Fight
Red Sox, Royals get Field of Dreams as Giants land All-Star Game.
Major League Baseball (MLB) is planning to make the Field of Dreams game an annual event. After hosting the Fourth version of the game between the Red Sox and Royals in Iowa on August 12th, 2026, the league has announced plans to continue this tradition. The 2027 Field of Dreams game will feature the Phillies and Twins. This move comes despite ongoing labor disputes between MLB and the MLB Players Association, with no labor agreement in place for 2027 and beyond.
The labor disagreements center around issues such as a salary cap, reserve system, and management’s lockout expectations. Despite these tensions, there is strong player and coach enthusiasm for expanding Field of Dreams games to a three-day event. MLB has also awarded the 2028 All-Star Game to the Giants and Oracle Park in San Francisco, marking the second time the ballpark has hosted the event.
This decision aligns with the league's efforts to have major leaguers participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
