Organizers canceled the MLB London Series 2020 on Friday due to the coronavirus crisis, according to John Hutchinson of The Sun.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs were supposed to play June 13-14 at London Stadium.

There's no word yet if the series will be moved to 2021, as the reportedly axed event would've been the second in a two-year agreement.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox played in front of a combined 119,000 fans last year in a series that saw 50 runs scored in two games.
