MLB is strengthening its UK ties with Mets-Phillies London Series after Paris won’t play ball
Associated PressLONDON — Summertime in Paris with reservations not far from the Eiffel Tower. The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies play a two-game set this weekend at London Stadium for the league’s third visit in the past five years — ahead of another date in 2026. The Paris experience hasn’t dampened MLB’s hopes for Europe, Marinak said, though a year ago London was described as “ the jumping off point ” for Europe. The city has also contributed financially to MLB’s “legacy program.” Last year’s series — the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs split a two-game set — created a $67 million boost for London’s economy, in an estimate based on responses of 6,200 fans at the games. MLB’s “growing partnership” with the BBC resulted in distributing the first World Series game on BBC digital platforms last year, the league said.
