Major League Baseball (MLB) has played multiple regular season neutral site games in the United States at stadiums that are not the home ballpark of an MLB team. Such contests have been arranged by MLB for marketing purposes since the late 1990s, with increasing frequency. Listed below are the results of those games. Exhibition contests, such as preseason games or postseason all-star games, are not included. Also not included are games played in alternate or temporary home ballparks, such as by the Toronto Blue Jays during their 2020 and 2021 seasons or by the Montreal Expos during their 2003 and 2004 seasons.
