What is the story about?

Major League Baseball will return to the Field of Dreams in 2027 with the Kansas City Royals taking on the Boston Red Sox.

The league announced the game will take place on Thursday, Aug. 12, in Dyersville, Iowa, and will be broadcast on NBC, marking the fourth edition of the game.

This year's contest, a Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins

played Aug. 13, was broadcast exclusively on Netflix.

The 2027 game will be a Royals home date, with the Thursday game followed by a Friday off day. The teams will then resume their three-game set at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Aug. 14.

"Royals territory already covers the Midwest, including Dyersville, so this is a natural fit that provides Royals fans a chance to cheer on the home

team in a magical setting," said KC's president of business operations Cullen Maxey in a statement.

Said Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy: “To have the Red Sox take the field in Iowa, in a place that reminds us why people fall in love with baseball, will be incredibly special. Part of what has allowed baseball to endure for generations is its ability to evolve while still holding onto the traditions, memories, and shared experiences that give the game its meaning. We can’t wait to experience that in Dyersville.”
