Premiership Rugby in talks to stage league match at Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field
Premiership Rugby, the top professional rugby union league in England, is in discussions to host a league match at Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. This would be the first overseas match for the league since 2017, when Saracens played Newcastle in Philadelphia. The plan to hold a game at the iconic Wrigley Field would be a significant step in promoting rugby union in the United States, which is set to host the 2031 Rugby World Cup. The league's title sponsor, Gallagher, has strong ties with the Chicago Cubs, which may have played a role in the proposed match. The move would aim to increase the visibility and popularity of rugby union in the US market, capitalizing on the country's hosting of the prestigious international tournament in the coming decade.
