Fields of Dreams Brings Kevin Costner to a New Streaming Home on Netflix

As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of cinema, I can confidently say that the impending arrival of “Field of Dreams” on Netflix next month is a cause for immense excitement. This timeless tale of love, perseverance, and the magical allure of baseball has left an indelible mark on my heart ever since I first watched it as a young boy.


Beginning next month, the heartwarming baseball movie Field of Dreams, featuring Kevin Costner, will be available to stream on Netflix. This classic film, set to debut on September 1st, follows Ray (Costner), a farmer in Iowa who hears a mysterious voice from his cornfield. The voice tells him, “If you build it, they will come.” As a result, Ray constructs a baseball field and is visited by spirits of legendary baseball players from the past, who play on the field. This movie offers a captivating tale about faith, dreams, and the power of love, as Ray learns that his magical field means much more than just a ballpark to him and viewers alike.

The film titled “Field of Dreams” received nominations for three Academy Awards – best picture, best original score, and best adapted screenplay. In 2017, it was recognized as part of the National Film Registry in the US, a collection that adds 25 films each year. A movie set called the “Field of Dreams” ballpark was constructed for the film, drawing tourists from around the globe to Dyersville, Iowa.

The Field of Dreams movie location has been popular since it opened in 1989, hosting everything from youth baseball games to charity matches. However, its size prevents it from meeting Major League Baseball’s specifications for field dimensions. Besides the original movie site, Major League Baseball built a 8,000-seat ballpark near the cornfield where the film was made in Dyersville, Iowa.

Despite initial speculations in 2020, a Major League Baseball game was postponed due to COVID-19 issues. The following year, in 2021, the inaugural MLB game took place at the Field of Dreams, featuring the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees. Before the match began, the star of ‘Field of Dreams’, Costner, emerged from the cornfield to introduce the event. This game attracted the highest audience for a regular season game in 16 years, leading to a repeat performance in 2022 with a contest between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. The success of these games has boosted viewership at Field of Dreams. Although plans for future games have been put on hold due to site construction, baseball fans eagerly await their return.
