On what date was the 2026 MLB Field of Dreams Game played?

The 2026 MLB Field of Dreams Game was played on August 13, 2026.

The contest was the third Major League Baseball game staged at the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa. It followed the inaugural 2021 game and the second edition in 2022. MLB did not hold the event from 2023 through 2025 while the complex underwent renovation and expansion.

The 2026 game returned on a Thursday and formed part of a special series of regular-season games at unusual baseball locations. The date is easy to confuse with August 11, 2022, when the Chicago Cubs played the Cincinnati Reds at the site. It can also be confused with August 11, 2026, when the Iowa Cubs hosted the St. Paul Saints in a minor-league game at the renovated complex.

The 2026 MLB matchup featured the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies, with the Twins designated as the home team. The game was played at 6:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time and lasted 2 hours, 52 minutes.
