What to Know About MLB Opening Day 2024

Mar 12, 2024

Baseball is back! On March 20, the Dodgers take on the Padres for a first-ever regular-season MLB game played in South Korea. This two-game series will be held in Seoul, and then, eight days later, on March 28, the rest of the league joins in the fun with a full slate of MLB Opening Day matchups.

This guide digs into the official MLB Opening Day 2024 schedule, along with World Series predictions — and the MLB gear any fan needs to get ready for the season.

The Seoul Series comprises two games, played on March 20–21, as part of the MLB World Tour. And, yes, the games will be part of the MLB standings. 

Other games taking place as part of this MLB global recognition tour include the Mexico City Series on April 27–28 between the Rockies and Astros. The Phillies and Mets meet up for the London Series on June 8–9. The Dominican Republic Series, played March 9–10, is also a part of the tour, but those games are considered part of Spring Training — i.e., they don’t count in MLB season standings.

MLB 2024 Predictions

The one thing anyone can predict about baseball is its unpredictability. Last year’s Rangers made a stunning turnaround and went on to win the World Series. This year, though, sports bettors are keeping an eye on the Dodgers, the Braves and Astros, but they note we could see another wildcard matchup.

MLB Gear

Ready to refresh your fan gear? Here are some MLB and baseball gear options we think you’ll love


  • Whether you’re betting on the Dodgers or rooting for the Cubs, rep your team in an authentic MLB jersey
  • The vibes are immaculate when you pull together a toe-to-head Pro Standard fit featuring your favorite team. Choose a mint-green Braves tee with a confetti-embellished team logo, and wear it with the matching shorts
  • Nail that neutral look with a Mitchell & Ness Game On Pro snapback hat that blends beige and black. Or opt for a more vibrant New Era hat that lets your team colors shine. 
  • The temps may still be swinging wildly, but a satin jacket will keep that fit fresh all season long. 

Let the kids throw out their first pitch in the park or the backyard with the help of a glove and a bucket of baseballs.
