MLB Mexico City Series 2023: Dates, teams, key games, and how to watch

The MLB Mexico City Series is Major League Baseball's latest attempt at growing the game globally. They've held games in Japan and hosted the World Baseball Classic, but the game is largely restricted to countries like the United States and Japan.

Playing games in Mexico City will be good for the country. There's Mexican baseball and many teams and leagues in the country, but MLB is the premier league and wherever it goes, fans follow.

The MLB Mexico City Series will take place in Mexico City on April 29 and 30 at the Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium. It will be played between the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.

Stars like Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Brandon Crawford and more will be on display for the Mexico City fans.
