<p>Netflix will also air the Home Run Derby, the most-watched skills competition in sports, on July 13, the day before the MLB All-Star Game.</p>
<p>In August, Netflix will broadcast the MLB at Field of Dreams game from Dyersville, IA on August 13. MLB’s return to the iconic movie set for the first time in four years will feature the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies.</p>
<p>“We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with Major League Baseball,” said Bela Bajaria, Chief Content Officer, Netflix. “We started with critically-acclaimed documentaries, deepening the existing global passion for baseball. Now, we are seizing that moment by bringing massive cultural spectacles—from Opening Night to the Home Run Derby—directly to our members, reinforcing Netflix as the ultimate home for both the story and the sport.”</p>
<p>Netflix has over 325 million subscribers worldwide and about 90 million in the U.S. and Canada. The game will be broadcast in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.</p>
