The MLB season will begin July 23, with the New York Yankees playing the World Series champion Washington Nationals. Each team will play 60 games — 40 against teams within their division and 20 against teams in the opposite league but in close geographical proximity. The idea is to limit travel and risk of potential exposure and spread of COVID-19.

MLB teams will begin the season without fans in the stands.
