All Elite Wrestling and the Minnesota Twins are partnering up for a first ever event later this summer.

Brawl in the Ballpark will take place on Friday, July 10 at Target Field, and will feature stars from both AEW and Ring of Honor. The event will begin shortly after the Twins home game against the
Los Angeles Angels and last for roughly 75 minutes.

“We are thrilled for AEW to team with the Minnesota Twins for Brawl in the Ballpark on Friday, July 10 at Target Field,” AEW President Tony Khan said in a statement. “The event will mark another unforgettable night of All Elite Wrestling action in an incredible location, and we look forward to showcasing AEW to all Minnesota Twins fans.”

Darius and Dante Martin were on hand Tuesday night at Target Field to officially announce Brawl in the Ballpark, which will take place in a specially constructed wrestling ring located inside the Gate 34 area. Admission to the show is free to anyone who purchases a ticket to that night's game between the Twins and Angels.

“We’re excited to partner with AEW to bring a one-of-a-kind night to Target Field on July 10,” said Twins Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Sean Moore said in the joint statement with AEW. “This collaboration is part of our ongoing efforts to create memorable, fan-first experiences that give people even more reasons to enjoy a visit to our ballpark.”

Limited special ticket packages — including an exclusive Twins/AEW Lucha mask hat and VIP ringside access — are available on the Minnesota Twins website.
