Major League Baseball still has not announced details for next season’s Field of Dreams Game, but Major League Baseball’s 2026 schedule release at least helped pinpoint a time frame.
Listed in the schedule released on Tuesday, the Twins will play host to the Philadelphia Phillies Aug. 14-16, so the game could potentially be on Friday or Sunday. But, if the league followed the pattern it set for the previous two games set among the cornstalks in at the famed movie site in Dyersville, Iowa, the game would actually be played on Aug. 13, a Thursday, followed by a day off and then the resumption of the series on Saturday in Minneapolis.
The Twins will kick off their 2026 season on March 26 in Baltimore before heading to Kansas City for three games. They’ll then return to town and host the Tampa Bay Rays in their home opener on April 3 at Target Field.
Border state Milwaukee will be in town May 15-17, followed by the Houston Astros in a series that will mark shortstop Carlos Correa’s return to Target Field. The Twins play in Milwaukee Aug. 7-9. They will conclude their season at home against the Texas Rangers Sept. 25-27.
There’s a scheduling quirk during the middle of their trip to Arlington, Texas, in June with a day off during the middle of the series. That’s because a FIFA World Cup group stage match will be taking place that day right next door at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Some other schedule notes:
The Los Angeles Dodgers will come to down June 22-24.
The Twins will not host games on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July or Labor Day.
Their final game against an American League Central opponent will come on Sept. 13.
The Twins do not have the day off after their home opener, which has been customary in case of weather issues.
