San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks Discussing 2026 Mexico Series

[Matthew Lenz]

Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal are reporting that the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks are discussing playing Mexico City in 2026. The two teams were set to participate in the Mexico Series in 2020 but was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The report comes on the heels of various international events being cancelled for 2025 due to economic reasons. While the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs opened their seasons in Tokyo, the 2022 CBA had also permitted games to be played in Mexico City, San Juan, and Paris.

In past seasons, Mexico City has been the host to two regular season series, including one between the Padres and San Francisco Giants in 2023. Last season, the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies played in the same location.

Did you attend the series in 2023? Will you attend the series in 2026? Let us know your thoughts or experience in the comments!

They should host multiple series in Mexico every year IMO.
