List of Major League Baseball games played outside the United States and Canada

Major League Baseball (MLB) has played multiple regular season games outside of the United States and Canada. Beginning with the 2023 season, these games are branded as MLB World Tour.

List of games
To date, major-league regular-season games have been contested in five countries outside of the United States and Canada: Australia (Sydney), Japan (Tokyo), Mexico (Mexico City and Monterrey), South Korea (Seoul), and the United Kingdom (London).

The first MLB World Tour games (as they are now known) were contested in Mexico in 1996 and 1999. From 2000 through 2012, eight such games were contested, all in Japan. Two games were played in Australia in 2014, followed by three games in Mexico in 2018. The 2019 season saw a total of eight games played in Japan, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Following a three year pause, Mexico and the United Kingdom each hosted a two-game series in 2023. In 2024, MLB teams played two-game series in Seoul, Mexico City, and London.

Exhibition contests, such as preseason games or postseason all-star games, are not included in the list below. Several such contests can be found in the See also section.

Canceled games
In May 2019, MLB announced that the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals would play a two-game series in London in June 2020, to be known as the 2020 MLB London Series. Additionally, in December 2019, the league announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres would play a two-game series in Mexico City in April 2020. These would have been the first regular-season MLB games in Mexico City. Both of these series were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Games played in Puerto Rico
Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has hosted 49 MLB games since 2001. As Puerto Rico is a United States commonwealth, these games are not included in the above table.

The Montreal Expos played 43 "home" games at Estadio Hiram Bithorn during 2003 and 2004.

Excluding Expos games, below is a list of neutral-site games played in Puerto Rico: In August 2019, MLB announced a three-game series between the New York Mets and Miami Marlins at Estadio Hiram Bithorn to be played in April 2020. This series was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MLB World Tour
As part of the collective bargaining agreement to end the 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout, MLB announced a plan to have additional games played internationally, including regular-season games in Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, London, and Paris between 2023 and 2026. Beginning with the 2023 season, games outside the U.S. and Canada are branded as "MLB World Tour".

The MLB Mexico City Series was first contested in 2023 at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú. The San Diego Padres won both games against the San Francisco Giants.

In 2024, the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays played two games during spring training on March 9–10 at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo; the Red Sox won both games. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres opened the regular season at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, with each team winning one game. The MLB Seoul Series included the first regular season games to be played in Korea. Also during 2024, the Houston Astros won both games against the Colorado Rockies played at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City on April 27–28, and the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies played two games at London Stadium as part of the MLB London Series on June 8–9, with each team winning one game.

Future plans
On April 3, 2024, the commissioner of Japanese baseball, Sadayuki Sakakibara, told reporters that the 2025 MLB season would open in Japan on March 18–19, which would be the first MLB games played in the country since 2019 (and the first played under World Tour branding). On July 18, 2024, MLB announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs would open the 2025 season at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo.

MLB had planned to host games at the Stade de France, just outside Paris, starting in 2025. MLB canceled its 2025 Paris series due to being unable to find a promoter for the event and because of scheduling issues that made it impractical to build a field to MLB's standards at the stadium.
