MLB comes to English shores for the first time as the London Stadium hosts a New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox double header.

With basketball and American football making the same move in recent years, baseball now wants to join the party with future aspirations to hold further series across Europe.

When is MLB London?

The two-game series will take place from Saturday, June 29 to Sunday, June 30.

It will see one of the oldest and most famous rivalries come together as the New York Yankees taking on the Boston Red Sox.

Between them, they have 36 World Series titles, and will now clash in the first MLB game in Europe at the London Stadium.

The first match on Saturday will start at 6.10pm, while the second game will be held on Sunday at 3.10pm.

The current deal with Major League Baseball means Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals will clash in the English capital next year.

Can I get tickets?

There are plenty of tickets available for both games.

On Ticketmaster, the cheapest for Saturday is £158.05 – while if you want to get as close as possible to the action, you will have to shell out £405.

Sunday is a little cheaper, with tickets starting from £130.80, but still go up to £405 for the best seats in the house.

However, StubHub are also selling tickets for the game, with the cheapest on Saturday going for £72.90 – but these go up to £3522.30 for the ultimate viewing experience.

In the second match, like Ticketmaster, it costs a little less, with seats available from £66.83.

But you could end up spending a whopping £5952.30 to sit in the lower tier.

What TV channel is it on and can I live stream it for FREE?

If you just want to watch from the comfort of your own home, then BT Sports will be showing the action on television.

BT Sport customers can live stream via the app on their computer, tablet and mobile devices.

If you have a EE phone plan, you can sign up for a three-month FREE trial – just simply text SPORT to 150.

However, you can also live stream both matches of the MLB London Series for FREE on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport.

It will not be on television via BBC, having signed a streaming-only deal for 2019 and 2020.
