MN Twins and St. Paul Saints to play on Field of Dreams

Wednesday, we got more details surrounding the event, which will take place on August 13, 2026. The field that was built for the Cubs vs Reds game back in 2022 is no longer there. Thus, a temporary one will be erected in its place.

The Baltimore Orioles are in town to start the week of August 10th. When that series ends, the MN Twins will make the short trip south to Dyersville, Iowa for their novelty contest against the Phillies on August 13.

Neither team involved can get overly wrapped up in the history of that day, because it very much counts toward their regular season record. When it ends, the Twins and Phillies will both get a day off before resuming their three-game interleague set back at Target Field, in Minneapolis on August 15.

Minnesota went to Philadelphia in 2025, where they dropped their series against the 2025 NL East Champs two games to one. The Phillies project to be a formidable opponent yet again, as Bryce Harper and the boys look to make another postseason run through the National League in 2026.

It’s not just the local big league club that will get an opportunity to play on the Field of Dreams this summer. The Minnesota Twins Triple-A affiliate, the St. Paul Saints, are headed to Dyersville as well, where they will battle the Iowa Cubs (Chicago Cubs’ Triple-A affiliate) on August 11 at 7 p.m..

The Minnesota Twins High-A affiliate Cedar Rapids took on the Quad City River Bandits back in 2022 when the Field of Dreams site was last used. Tickets for both games will be on sale in the coming weeks.

This is an incredible opportunity for our organization and we’re thankful to Major League Baseball, the Minnesota Twins, the Field of Dreams filming location, the City of Dyersville, and everyone else involved that they asked us to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime game. To share the field with the Iowa Cubs, a team we’ve played more times than any other in the International League since we became the Twins affiliate in 2021, makes this perfect. We look forward to putting on an incredible show for baseball fans around the country.

There has been no game at the temporary Field of Dreams stadium since 2022 when the Cincinnati Reds played the Chicago Cubs. That stadium has since been dismantled and the land was sold.

With a new, permanent stadium in place, the Minnesota Twins will play against the Philadelphia Phillies to break it in during August 2026.

Minnesota Twins to play Phillies in Iowa

The temporary Field of Dreams stadium held a capacity of 8,000 fans. The new permanent site is expected to hold far fewer fans. That means tickets aren’t going to be cheap, and demand will far-exceed opportunity. Matt Gelb and Dan Hayes of The Athletic broke the news on Sunday.

For the first time in four years, Major League Baseball is returning to Iowa.

The Phillies and Twins will play a regular-season game sometime in August 2026 in a revival of the league’s Field of Dreams game held at Dyersville, Iowa, multiple major-league sources said. It will be a home game for Minnesota.

MLB will reveal its 2026 schedule Tuesday. The actual date of the Phillies-Twins game is to be determined.

The Athletic

It’s only fitting that Minnesota will be the home team given the location being within the geographical region of Twins Territory. The expectation is that the game will be nationally televised, so fans in Iowa shouldn’t be blacked out either.

Each team that has played at the Field of Dreams stadium has donned throwback uniforms. Hopefully the Twins won’t dip into the Washington Senators lore and instead can find an opportunity to bring back the powder blues.

Major League Baseball has made a habit of playing games at alternative sites. The Minnesota Twins were last included during 2018 in Puerto Rico. Of course they haven’t exactly been appointment viewing, but this is a game no one will want to miss.

The Phillies are also a team that Minnesota did work with at the trade deadline. Harrison Bader and his one-year contract likely won’t be there next year. However, closer Jhoan Duran is under contract through 2027 and will be in the Philadelphia bullpen.

Minnesota started Mick Abel on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. The former top prospect made his major league debut for the Phillies and could find himself pitching against them next season.

Once a date is revealed for the game, you can bet tickets will be among the hardest to come by across the entire league’s slate next season. Back in 2022 the cheapest get-in price on TickPick was $644.
