London Stadium headache averted after event cancellation
Major League Baseball has announced that it has cancelled the London Series due to be held in June this year at the home of West Ham.
The event was due to take place on June 13 and 14 at London Stadium, but it has been cancelled as the country attempts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals were due to face off over two games later this year following on from the massive success of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox playing two games to packed crowds in east London in 2019.
Major League Baseball signed a two-year contract to host two games per year in London. It is unclear how much it costs for the Stadium to be transformed into a baseball field, but it is believed to have required more than £4m to do so last year, which was paid for by the MLB.
If you had bought tickets to the baseball games at London Stadium this summer, you will get a full refund on your ticket.
