MLB Opening Day: 2024 season, matches, dates and times
After the Dodgers and Padres opened the Major League Baseball season with two games in South Korea, MLB Opening Day will take place this Thursday.
Against the backdrop of the iconic ‘playball’ call, the new MLB season officially begins on 28 March with the official Opening Day round of games after the LA Dodgers faced the San Diego Padres for two games in the city of Seoul, South Korea.
With both sides winning a game apiece, both the Dodgers and Padres return to action again themselves at the start of the marathon 162 game regular season. The Dodgers are set to face the St. Louis Cardinals, while the Padres will be tested against the San Francisco Giants.
One of the standout games from the 2024 season Opening Day is the New York Yankees who travel to Texas and face the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park with both sides strongly tipped to deliver solid performances during the season ahead and make the playoffs which commence at the beginning of October.
The current MLB champions, the Texas Rangers, will debut at home against the Chicago Cubs at Globe Life Field, while the National League champions, the Arizona Diamondbacks are set to face the Colorado Rockies.
