Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced that the London Series will return in 2023, featuring the Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals.

The two-game series will be held at the London Stadium on 24th and 25th June, marking MLB’s second staging of regular season matches in the UK, after the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox also played two fixtures at the same venue in 2019.

The return to London comes after a break enforced by the pandemic, with MLB belatedly signing a long-term partnership with the UK capital in May to host a series of international games and events in the city.
