The Major League Baseball regular season is 162 games. Thatâs almost twice as long as the NHL ice hockey and NBA basketball schedules. Itâs 10 times longer than the 16 game NFL football schedule.
Having teams play 17 games against each opponent would have yielded a 153-game season, but one that was unbalancedâmeaning that teams would have unequal numbers of home and away games. If the league had nudged that number down to 16 games, the schedule would have ended up too short (144 games). So instead MLB decided to push up to 18 games against each rival, nine home and nine away, for the modern total of 162 games per season.
