Per CBS Sports, "Players will report for another version of 'spring' training on July 1, and the league's imposed 60-game season will start July 24." The outlet adds that health and safety protocols are still being finalized.
The league will wrap up the regular season by the end of September and the postseason by the end of October. The postseason will feature 10 teams, as per usual.
