Will MLB have a regular season series in Paris? Rob Manfred seems to believe so. This year alone, MLB has visited Mexico City and is currently in London for the London Series. They've visited Canada, Japan, and many other places in the past and are aiming towards expanding the game worldwide.

That evidently includes Paris, at least some time in the future. Via Outkick, Manfred said MLB in Paris is a goal:

“We are in the process of working on Paris in 2025. We’re not at the point where we’re going to make a commitment or a more formal announcement, but it is in the planning stages.”

They can't commit to visiting Paris, France, but they are intent on making it happen. Naturally, that won't happen this season or next, but the following year could be a prime opportunity.


Rob Manfred discusses MLB worldwide, including Paris, London, and more

Rob Manfred is setting the majors up to visit a lot of places across the globe. They've checked a lot of locations off the list thus far, with Paris and others remaining. Manfred said:

“We have a very detailed plan to play in addition to London. We’ve been to Mexico already. We intend to be there again. We view Europe, generally, as a strategic priority for us going forward. We are also interested in places in the Americas where it’s closer to home and baseball has more of a rooting in the culture. Japan, Taiwan and Korea also remain important initiatives for us.
