As for the first spring training games, start on Saturday, February 27, through March 30 at the Grapefruit and Cactus League games. The select teams will host the exhibition games at the ballparks, days leading to the Opening Day.
And for the MLB's regular-season slate, this should start from Thursday, April 1. And each of these teams should play 162 games. After cancelling the All-Star Game last year, MLB will return to its annual event at Trust Park in Atlanta.
The Regular Season-All-Star Game and Postseason
There were 162 games in the MLB season, but that changed last year. If the league sticks to its earlier released schedule running from April 1 to October 3, this should be the same in 2021.
And as the season progresses, the 30 teams may announce the plans regarding attendance. And this depends on any developing policies and restrictions.
The 2021 MLB playoff schedule for All-Star Game will be on July 13. But note that, the MLB reported to relocate the Game from Atlanta's Trust Park on April 2. And instead, it will relocate to Denver's Coors Field; the last time was in 1998.
It's worth noting that the 2021 postseason MLB playoff schedule is still not yet official. Remember last year; the playoffs expanded from 10 to 16 teams in 2020. It was a one-year agreement, and the league and the players' union didn't reach a new agreement for the expanded playoffs for 2021.
When such a pact misses, the playoffs will have to feature five-team fields in the AL and N. This starts with win-or-go-home Wild Card Games. The MLB resumes its annual event at Trust Park in Atlanta on June 12.
In the regular season, this is how the MLB playoff schedule starts on TV:
Saturday, June 12

In Conclusion, Sunday, October 3, will be the final day of the regular season before the Wild Card games. And if everything goes as planned, the World Series will begin on Tuesday, October 26. While a potential Game 7 set for November 3. There you have it folks, all you need to know about the 2021 MLB playoff schedule.
