Baseball in the Netherlands
The Netherlands has a surprisingly strong baseball tradition at the international level. The Dutch national team has consistently punched above its weight at tournaments like the World Baseball Classic, featuring players who compete at the highest professional levels. This homegrown connection to the sport has translated into a curious and engaged MLB fanbase across the country.
Rotterdam has deep baseball roots going back generations of community play. The 2025 MLB season features some of the deepest rosters the sport has ever seen. The LA Dodgers remain the benchmark, the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry draws massive neutral viewership, and the October pennant race delivers drama that transcends the sport's core fanbase. livetv tracks the full schedule with CET times.

People act surprised when I say I love baseball, but the Netherlands has a great tradition in the sport. I watch the Dodgers whenever I can — CET start times for their home games are actually manageable on weeknights.
Grew up playing baseball here in Haarlem and started following the MLB later. The Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry is something else — you feel the weight of history in every game. livetv makes it easy to track when these games air.
The World Series is genuinely appointment TV for me. Baseball's pace isn't for everyone but there is something meditative about it — then suddenly the tension is enormous. Great sport, very underrated in the Netherlands.
My partner introduced me to baseball through the Dutch national team. Now I follow MLB as well. The Dodgers have been unbelievable at building a roster. Shohei Ohtani in a Dodgers uniform still feels surreal every time I watch.
