History of the London Series
In the first MLB games ever played in the United Kingdom, the first London Series games took place between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in 2019. The two AL East rivals put up a monstrous offensive spectacle. The Yankees won both contests, by scores of 17-13 in Game 1 and 12-8 in Game 2.
After a two-year layoff due to the COVID pandemic, MLB returned to London in 2022 with a matchup between NL Central rivals St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. The Cubs won Game 1 by a 9-1 score, while the Cardinals took the second game 7-5.
The Phillies and Mets can expect big crowds for their series, as both previous London Series attendance figures stand above 100,000 spectators over the two games. The 2019 series saw more than 118,000 fans attend, while last year's event welcomed more than 110,00 fans.
