When Will The Baseball Season Start?
Get the latest update on when the baseball season will start.
Introduction
While there is no definite answer to this question, the baseball season typically starts in late March or early April. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the season has been delayed until further notice.
The Shortened Season
The MLB season is typically 186 days long, with each team playing 162 games. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 season will be just 60 games long.
Spring training was originally supposed to start on February 21st, but it was pushed back to March 22nd due to the pandemic. The regular season was supposed to start on April 9th, but it was pushed back to July 23rd or 24th. The playoffs will begin on September 29th and the World Series will end on November 1st or 2nd.
The Pushed Back Season
The current plan for the baseball season is for it to start in late July and end in October. This is later than the normal season, which runs from April to October. The reason for the delay is because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The owners and players could not come to an agreement on how to resume play safely, so they pushed back the start of the season.
The Cancelled Season
The MLB season was supposed to start on March 26th, but due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, the season has been postponed indefinitely. Players were supposed to report to spring training on February 17th, but that was also postponed. It is unknown when the season will start, but it is looking unlikely that it will happen in the near future.
Conclusion
Based on the current situation, it is difficult to predict when the baseball season will start. However, some experts believe that the season might start in late May or early June.
