With a goal to grow their game globally, MLB, NBA and NFL have taken to scheduling games outside of the United States. The NBA and NFL have been more aggressive in doing so, using the preseason and regular season to showcase their athletes on an international stage.
In 2014, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers opened the season in Sydney, Australia. But other than that three-game series, no regular-season game has ever been played outside the U.S.
The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins played at Fort Bragg in July, which made for a great event. Last spring, the Tampa Bay Rays went to Cuba to face the Cuban National Team at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana.
