The New York Yankees have told Major League Baseball they want to be one of the teams for the sport's first games in Europe at the Stade de France outside Paris during 2025, according to sources.

MLB has not yet reached any decisions on teams for the France games and has been more focused on the 2023 schedule, with its new balanced format.

The stadium in France, at Saint-Denis, was built for the 1998 World Cup and was the site of this year's Champions League final. It has a soccer capacity of about 80,000.
