Coronavirus pandemic: When will MLB start?

The MLB season was scheduled to commence on March 26 but the coronavirus pandemic saw the season delayed until April 9. With the growing spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the US, there is no certainty on when will MLB start. Reports have suggested that the start of the season could be moved to Memorial Day weekend in May.

The MLB is facing the possibility of a shortened MLB calendar for the first time since 1995 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus lockdown was issued after a minor league player from the New York Yankees tested positive for the virus and with minimum crowd gathering advised for an eight-week stretch, a Memorial Day start seems to be the viable option for the upcoming MLB season.
