When does MLB spring training start? 2026 pitchers and catchers report dates

Major League Baseball's 30 teams gather in Arizona and Florida for spring training in early February to prepare for the 2026 season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers head to camp as back-to-back World Series champions and strengthened their team even further during the winter with the additions of outfielder Kyle Tucker and closer Edwin Diaz.

The first spring training games are scheduled to be played on Feb. 20, with players joining national teams for the World Baseball Classic a few weeks later. The regular season begins March 25, with a full opening day set for March 26.
