Major League Baseball Is Back at the Field of Dreams, Now in a Permanent Ballpark Amid the Corn
Netflix says Kevin Costner will join its MLB broadcast as it seeks to recreate the Field of Dreams film moment.
- Netflix VP of sports Gabe Spitzer confirmed Kevin Costner will participate in Thursday's Field of Dreams broadcast, though Spitzer did not specify Costner's exact role or whether he will appear on-site in Dyersville, Iowa.
- Returning for the first time in four years, the third-ever Field of Dreams game features the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins at a permanent ballpark constructed to replace previous temporary setups.
- Players cannot challenge ball-and-strike calls because the league's Automated Ball-Strike technology is not installed in Dyersville; the Phillies entered Sunday with the fewest challenges from their catchers in the majors.
- This Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET, the game streams exclusively on Netflix with Major League Baseball expecting the largest gathering of living Hall of Famers since the 2008 All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, where 49 Hall of Famers convened.
- While Major League Baseball has not confirmed whether the Field of Dreams game will become a permanent yearly fixture, BaAM Productions president Annemarie Roe suggested the site's infrastructure could support future events, as the location hosted 637 youth baseball teams in 2025, generating $14.2 million in economic impact.
