It’s Cubs vs. Reds in 2022 Field of Dreams game

We’ll see the Chicago Cubs take on the Cincinnati Reds in 2022’s Field of Dreams game, as the popular event returns to the Dyersville, IA farm and film set in a return engagement.

The specifics of the game have not officially been announced, though Bob Nightengale of USA Today was the first to pass along the teams involved and a date of Aug. 11, 2022, and there’s also talk about an MiLB game played as part of the mix. At a press conference before the 2021 event, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed there would be a return engagement, with the likelihood the Cubs would be involved. At the same press conference Manfred expressed doubt that the game would return as an annual event, but that we were likely to see pop-up games at other sites along similar lines of the 2021 Field of Games game and the 2016 Fort Bragg game. The 2021 game attracted some 5.9 million viewers to the Fox network broadcast — the most-watched regular-season baseball game on the network in 16 years — and generated tons of press coverage.
