The 2024 Major League Baseball regular season technically kicked off in South Korea on March 20 with a two-game series between the San Diego Padres and the favorite to win the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
However, official MLB Opening Day is slated for Thursday, March 28. All 30 franchises were scheduled to compete, but two games were postponed due to expected inclement weather (Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets and Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies).
