MLB announces tentative 2016 schedule. Major League Baseball on Tuesday released its tentative 2016 regular-season schedule, starting with the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game on April 3 with a matchup to be announced, and then featuring 13 games on the first convergence of Opening Day and Square Root Day: April 4, 2016.
The regular baseball season now extends over six full months: The first regular season game is scheduled for April 5, and the last for October 4. The World Series is not expected to start until October 28, a full 24 days after the season ends, and will almost certainly extend into November again. For those of us for whom there is no such thing as too much baseball, this is a fine arrangement, but seven months of baseball is a lot and does not come without a cost.
