2021 Major League Baseball Schedule Arrives

Spring Training to Begin in February

Regular Season to Start on April 1st

Major League Baseball has announced its 2021 regular season schedule. The season will begin on Thursday, April 1st, with all 30 teams in action. The schedule will feature 162 games for each team, with the regular season ending on Sunday, October 3rd.

The 2021 season will be the first to feature a universal designated hitter. The rule change was made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which shortened the 2020 season and made it difficult for teams to field a full roster of healthy players.

The schedule also includes several key dates, including the All-Star Game, which will be played on Tuesday, July 13th, at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The playoffs will begin on Tuesday, October 5th, with the World Series scheduled to start on Tuesday, October 26th.
