MLB’s Early Start Hangs on Labor Deal | Global News

MLB’s 2027 season could kick off as early as March 24th — the earliest in decades — but only if a new labor deal is finalized before the current contract expires December 1st. With Netflix set to broadcast a special opening night game (teams TBD), the league is pushing for an ambitious schedule that includes a full weekend of matchups across the country. History warns: if talks stall like in 2022, the early start could vanish. Meanwhile, Wrigley Field hosts the All-Star Game on July 13th, followed by a rivalry weekend and a regular season ending on September 26th. The Oakland A’s continue playing in West Sacramento for a third straight year before moving to Las Vegas in 2028 — adding another layer of logistical complexity as MLB juggles labor negotiations and fan excitement.
