Each of the 30 stadiums in Major League Baseball, or MLB, has features and traits that make it well worth of a visit, but how do they stack up by capacity?
With capacities ranging from 30,000 to more than 50,000, MLB stadiums make some of the largest entertainment venues in the United States. And baseball’s status as America’s national pastime means many of them are filled on a regular basis during the summer months.
Then in the fall, the teams that make the postseason gain additional opportunities to bring fans to the ballpark during a monthlong run that culminates in late October and early November with the World Series.
Major League Baseball has also made strides internationally in the last decade-plus. Stadiums in Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Mexico have seen MLB regular-season games in recent years, with more games planned for MLB’s World Tour series in coming seasons.
So which stadium is the largest by capacity in MLB, and which is the smallest? Here’s a list of all 30 ballparks in use for the 2026 season, plus some international stadiums.

Current MLB stadiums ranked by capacity
1. Dodger Stadium
Location: Los Angeles, California
Home teams: Los Angeles Dodgers
Capacity: 56,000
Dodger Stadium is the only MLB venue with a capacity greater than 50,000 people, which is a big reason why the Dodgers routinely lead baseball in yearly attendance. In 2026, fans will be basking in the glow of the team’s back-to-back World Series championships.
2. Chase Field
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Home team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Capacity: 48,330
Chase Field‘s airplane hangar feel and boxy shape make it one of the most anti-traditional stadiums in MLB, but Diamondbacks fans don’t seem to mind — especially because its retractable roof helps keeps fans cool in the heat of a desert summer.
3. T-Mobile Park
Location: Seattle, Washington
Home team: Seattle Mariners
Capacity: 47,368
Mariners fans are some of the most loyal in the game, and T-Mobile Park on the edge of downtown Seattle offers them a picturesque yet modern environment to watch their team play.
4. Coors Field
Location: Denver, Colorado
Home team: Colorado Rockies
Capacity: 46,897
The Rockies’ downtown ballpark has been an innovator on the MLB stadium scene for many years. Coors Field has many features worth checking out, from the unique bleacher section known as the “Rockpile” to the in-house brewery that birthed Blue Moon beer.
5. Yankee Stadium
Location: New York, New York
Home team: New York Yankees
Capacity: 46,537
The new Yankee Stadium had a tall task replacing the original “House that Ruth Built,” but it does a good job honoring the team’s storied past with an extensive museum, the distinctive frieze that lines the stadium overhang and the Monument Park in center field.
6. Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Location: Anaheim, California
Home team: Los Angeles Angels
Capacity: 45,517
Opened in 1966, Angel Stadium has long been the subject of renovation or replacement talk, but it’s still going strong as the home of the Angels.
7. Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Home team: Baltimore Orioles
Capacity: 44,487
Camden Yards started a new ballpark revolution when it opened to much fanfare in 1992, and more than 30 years later it continues to artfully straddle the line between modern comfort and old-timey charm.
8. Busch Stadium
Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Home team: St. Louis Cardinals
Capacity: 44,383
The Cardinals’ devoted following can make Busch Stadium a lively place on game days, as fans can enjoy that iconic view of the Gateway Arch along with what usually is a competitive team on the field.
9. Great American Ball Park
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Home team: Cincinnati Reds
Capacity: 43,500
Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park doesn’t often get the accolades of its more celebrated peers, but it does a good job celebrating the Reds’ long history while melding itself with the city’s skyline.
10. Citizens Bank Park
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Home team: Philadelphia Phillies
Capacity: 42,901
When the Phillies are playing well, it’s hard to find a more passionate atmosphere in an MLB stadium than at Citizens Bank Park, which saw its greatest moment when the home team won just its second World Series title in 2008.
11. Citi Field
Location: New York, New York
Home team: New York Mets
Capacity: 41,922
The Mets sometimes fight the little-brother perception in comparison to the Yankees in New York City, but there’s no disputing that Citi Field is a terrific ballpark to watch a game — and has one of the best food selections in all of baseball.
12. American Family Field
Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Home teams: Milwaukee Brewers
Capacity: 41,900
Formerly known as Miller Park, the Brewers’ American Family Field continues to exhibit the unique personality of its home state, from the best-selling bratwursts and beer in the stands to the mid-game sausage races.
13. Wrigley Field
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Home team: Chicago Cubs
Capacity: 41,649
Despite a number of modern improvements in recent years, there’s no denying the old-timey charm of Wrigley Field. It’s MLB’s second-oldest stadium but remains a top sports destination, the centerpiece of the vibrant Wrigleyville neighborhood.
14. Nationals Park
Location: Washington, D.C.
Home team: Washington Nationals
Capacity: 41,373
Opened in 2008, three years after the Nationals franchise moved from Montreal, Nationals Park flies under the radar as a destination MLB stadium. Perhaps that’s because the team has fallen on hard times since its World Series championship in 2019.
15. Oracle Park
Location: San Francisco, California
Home team: San Francisco Giants
Capacity: 41,331
Oracle Park, the Giants’ bayside ballpark, exudes the personality of its city as much as any other stadium in baseball, from the “splash hit” home runs to the impeccable view of the Bay Bridge beyond left field.
16. Daikin Park
Location: Houston, Texas
Home team: Houston Astros
Capacity: 41,168
Recently renamed from its longtime moniker Minute Maid Park, Daikin Park has seen a lot of quality baseball — and capacity crowds — thanks to the Astros’ long run of dominance that resulted in two championships, in 2017 and 2022.
17. Truist Park
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Home team: Atlanta Braves
Capacity: 41,084
Despite not being close to central Atlanta, Truist Park is a fun place for fans to visit — not just because of the ballpark and the team, but because of the surrounding Battery district that has become a popular pre- and post-game destination.
18. Comerica Park
Location: Detroit, Michigan
Home team: Detroit Tigers
Capacity: 41,083
Though it replaced a beloved ballpark in Tiger Stadium more than 25 years ago, Comerica Park has made its way into the hearts of Tigers fans thanks to two World Series appearances and numerous historic moments since the team moved in.
19. Rate Field
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Home team: Chicago White Sox
Capacity: 40.615
Rate Field (the word “Guaranteed” was dropped from its name a few seasons ago) has the misfortune of sharing a city with the beloved Wrigley Field, so it doesn’t get much recognition. And the White Sox are actively looking to build a replacement.
20. Globe Life Field
Location: Arlington, Texas
Home team: Texas Rangers
Capacity: 40,300
The Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field, opened in 2020, has already hosted an All-Star Game and two World Series — one during the pandemic season of 2020, and one in 2023 that led to the Rangers’ first-ever title.
21. Petco Park
Location: San Diego, California
Home team: San Diego Padres
Capacity: 39,860
The Padres are still chasing an elusive championship, but recent years of contention have made Petco Park a happening place to be among MLB stadiums, with frequent capacity crowds.
22. Rogers Centre
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Home team: Toronto Blue Jays
Capacity: 39,150
The Blue Jays’ Rogers Centre has come a long way from its old days when it was known as the SkyDome. It still has the unique built-in hotel with rooms overlooking the field, but various improvements have reduced the capacity and made it feel much more like a true MLB stadium than a retractable-roof behemoth.
23. PNC Park
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Home team: Pittsburgh Pirates
Capacity: 38,747
Though the Pirates have rarely been competitive since the ballpark’s opening in 2000, PNC Park is always in the running for best stadium in MLB thanks to its intimate capacity and incredible view of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline and Roberto Clemente Bridge from beyond the outfield.
24. Target Field
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Home team: Minnesota Twins
Capacity: 38,544
Target Field is an underrated gem of a stadium on the edge of downtown Minneapolis, attracting droves of fans despite not having a roof like the Twins’ former home, the Metrodome.
25. Kauffman Stadium
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Home team: Kansas City Royals
Capacity: 37,903
Despite its age (opened in 1973), Kauffman Stadium has plenty of features worth seeing, primarily its fountains in the outfield stands. However, the Royals are looking to build a replacement closer to downtown Kansas City.
26. Fenway Park
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Home team: Boston Red Sox
Capacity: 37,755
Fenway Park is still going strong after more than a century, continuing to attract droves to Red Sox games thanks to its old-time baseball ambiance as well as innovative featuers as the “Monster Seats” atop the Green Monster in left field.
27. LoanDepot Park
Location: Miami, Florida
Home team: Miami Marlins
Capacity: 37,442
The home of the Marlins, LoanDepot Park doesn’t often inspire the traveling baseball romantics out there, and the fact the team isn’t often competitive is a factor in the stadium’s capacity being on the small side as MLB ballparks go.
28. Progressive Field
Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Home team: Cleveland Guardians
Capacity: 34,820
Progressive Field once hosted a streak of 455 consecutive sellouts, but renovations reduced the capacity by about 8,000, making it one of the smallest MLB stadiums by capacity. It can still be the place to be in downtown Cleveland when the Guardians are thriving, as they have often been in recent seasons.
29. Tropicana Field
Location: Tampa, Florida
Home team: Tampa Bay Rays
Capacity: 25,025
The Tampa Bay Rays are moving back into Tropicana Field after heavy hurricane damage necessitated a temporary relocation for the 2025 season. The stadium can hold more than 40,000 fans, but the Rays artificially decrease the “official” capacity by closing off the upper deck.
30. Sutter Health Park
Location: West Sacramento, California
Home team: Athletics
Capacity: 14,014
Normally the home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, Sutter Health Park is being used as a waystation for the Athletics franchise before a permanent ballpark is built in Las Vegas.
MLB international stadiums ranked by capacity
Note: This list only includes stadiums either previously used for international games or slated for future international games as part of the MLB World Tour.
1. London Stadium
Location: London, England
Capacity: 55,000
London Stadium, usually the home of West Ham in soccer’s English Premier League, has hosted MLB’s London Series on three different occasions. Major-league games are expected to return eventually, but MLB will skip the UK for the second straight season in 2026 due to broadcast conflicts caused by the FIFA World Cup.
2. Sydney Cricket Ground
Location: Sydney, Australia
Capacity: 48,000
The Sydney Cricket Ground was the venue for MLB’s first games in Australia, a two-game series between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks in 2014.
3. Tokyo Dome
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Capacity: 45,600
The Tokyo Dome hosted MLB games for the third time in 2025, when the Dodgers and Cubs played a pair of games as part of the Tokyo Series.
4. Estadio Mobil Super
Location: Monterrey, Mexico
Capacity: 21,803
Monterrey’s baseball stadium welcomed MLB games in 2018 and again in 2019. There are no plans to schedule future regular-season games, but the Boston Red Sox played two exhibition games there against the hometown Monterrey Sultanes before the 2025 regular season.
5. Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Capacity: 20,062
MLB games were played in consecutive seasons (2023 and 2024) at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City. MLB is returning in 2026 after a one-year hiatus, with a two-game series between the Padres and Diamondbacks on April 25-26.
6. Hiram Bithorn Stadium
Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Capacity: 18,264
The U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico first played host to MLB in 2003, when the then-Montreal Expos played more than 40 home games there over a two-season span before the franchise relocated to Washington, D.C. The venue was used for games in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
7. Gocheok Sky Dome
Location: Seoul, South Korea
Capacity: 16,744
MLB came to South Korea for the first time in 2024. The Padres and Dodgers played a two-game series at the Gocheok Sky Dome, the home of the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO League. As of 2026, there are no current plans for MLB to return.
