Major League Baseball launches T20‑style 3‑on‑3 event in India

Major League Baseball has confirmed that its newest, high‑velocity format, MLBX, will make its Indian debut on 24 October at Mumbai Football Arena. The 3‑on‑3 competition is built around a short, explosive game structure that mirrors the fast rhythm of T20 cricket, aiming to boost baseball’s popularity across the sub‑continent.

The event will feature a mix of Indian and international talent, including Surya Kumar Yadav—captain of India’s T20 World Cup team and MLB ambassador—alongside former MLB all‑stars Nick Swisher and Adrian Gonzalez. Interactive zones will let fans engage directly with the sport, offering a fresh way to experience baseball’s energy.

Jeremiah Yolkut, senior vice‑president of MLB’s Global Operations and Events, said the country provides a unique platform for expanding the sport and that the enthusiastic response to recent collaborations made the Mumbai launch especially promising.
