John Deere has been named the presenting sponsor of the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams Game, building on its multi-year partnership with Major League Baseball while celebrating the shared traditions of agriculture and America's pastime.
Scheduled for August 13 in Dyersville, Iowa, the game will feature the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies at the iconic Field of Dreams site.
As presenting sponsor, John Deere will be part of the event through national campaigns, broadcast integrations, fan experiences, and community initiatives that recognize the people and values behind American agriculture.
Celebrating Agriculture at the Field of Dreams
Set among Iowa's cornfields, MLB at Field of Dreams, presented by John Deere, celebrates the farming communities whose work has helped shape the region for generations.
For John Deere, the sponsorship reflects its longstanding commitment to supporting farmers, rural communities, and the industries that help feed and sustain the world. It also celebrates the enduring connection between baseball and agriculture, two iconic parts of American culture rooted in hard work, tradition, and community.
The 2026 matchup marks the return of the MLB at the Field of Dreams Game for the first time since 2022. The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies will participate in the third MLB at Field of Dreams game played at the historic site.
Supporting Communities Beyond the Ballpark
In addition to its presence during the game, John Deere and Major League Baseball are partnering on initiatives designed to make a positive impact in Iowa and communities across the country.

- “Big Hits. Bigger Impact.” campaign: The John Deere Foundation will provide one million meals to Feeding America through a campaign that begins during MLB All-Star Week and continues through the Field of Dreams Game.
These efforts recognize the important role farmers play in feeding communities while helping address food insecurity nationwide.
