Major League Baseball matches will return to London next year as part of a long-term strategic partnership between the organisation and the English capital.
MLB made its debut in the UK, and indeed in Europe, when the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees faced off in two games at the London Stadium in 2019.
The 66,000-seater arena was also due to host two matches between the St Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs in 2020 but these had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
