Major League Baseball is going virtual. On Thursday, MLB announced that it will host the first regular-season game at its virtual ballpark when the Tampa Bay Rays host the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 20.
The MLB virtual ballpark, which debuted during the 2023 Celebrity Softball Game, allows fans to enter a virtual world that features a three-dimensional representation of the gameplay. Fans will be able to watch the virtual action from any angle in the park, interact with one another throughout the game, and explore the park while playing trivia and participating in scavenger hunts.
