MLB releases 2020 schedule

The Washington Nationals’ defense of the 2019 World Series championship will start on July 23rd, provided Major League Baseball can pull off a season during an ongoing pandemic.

Reports that the Washington Nationals would be one of four teams playing on Opening Day for 2020’s MLB campaign on July 23rd came out a while back, but the MLB released the official, full schedule for the 60-game season.

The Nationals’ 2020 campaign does officially start on the 23rd, when they’re booked to host the New York Yankees at 7:08 PM ET in Nationals Park in the season opener, which is scheduled to air on ESPN.

The San Francisco Giants will visit the Los Angeles Dodgers in the West Coast opener three hours later.

The Nationals, the defending World Series champs, will begin their 60-game schedule that night, but before that they have three exhibition games planned, one versus Philadelphia and two with the Baltimore Orioles.
