Are you ready for some baseball? Let’s hope so, because spring has sprung, and baseball MLB Opening Day is upon us. The Major League Baseball season actually already started on March 20 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres playing each other in Seoul. If you’re wondering, San Diego won that one, 15-11. But, the season really kicks off in the States on Thursday (March 28).

MLB Opening Day Fun Facts

The Major League Baseball season has so many games that it’s really mind-boggling. I’m a football fan, so I’m jelly of my baseball friends who get to watch hundreds of games a season. Of course, nobody has the time, or should have the time, to watch that many games. But, just knowing that your favorite team is playing on any given day is a fun feeling. The Major League Baseball (MLB) season schedule consists of a 162 games for each of the 30 teams in the American League (AL) and National League (NL). Hence, 2,430 MLB games are played in the regular season. It’s wild to think that only means the regular season, too, not the postseason.

This year, for MLB Opening Day, all 30 MLB clubs will be playing. Last year, all 30 teams also played, but before last year, it hadn’t happened since 1968. I think it’s a great idea to have all the teams playing on the same day. Why not kick off the season with a bang? Also, most of the opening day games will be played on the teams’ regional sports networks affiliated with each baseball league. Also, some streaming services will be playing the games. You can also stream MLB games on MLB.TV. Right now, their deal is $149.99 for the whole season, according to their website. There are local blackout restrictions.

So, chances are, you want to get in on the action. Here are details on the MLB Opening Day 2024 schedule.
