#2020 MLB Regular Season National TV Schedule

With more than half the 2020 Major League Baseball regular season wiped out due to COVID-19, it’s finally time to play ball. The first pitch of the season will be thrown on Thursday, July 23, at 7:08/6:08c at Nationals Park as Gerrit Cole (pictured) and the New York Yankees visit the 2019 World Series champion Washington Nationals on ESPN.

The second game of an ESPN opening night doubleheader has the San Francisco Giants at the Los Angeles Dodgers at 10:08/9:08c.

Each team will play 60 regular-season games, and both the AL and the NL will use the designated hitter. All games will be played without fans in attendance. The Canadian government won’t permit the Toronto Blue Jays to play their games at their home park, and the team is looking for an alternate site in the U.S.

Among the highlights this season, on Thursday, August 13, at 7/6c, the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox play in the MLB Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa, adjacent to where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed. The game airs nationally on Fox.

MLB will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues on Sunday, August 16. The rescheduled Jackie Robinson Day tribute takes place on Friday, August 28. Roberto Clemente Day is observed on Wednesday, September 9.

Times listed are Eastern and indicate first pitch. TBS and MLB Network games are subject to blackout in local markets. September games subject to change.
