MLB announces 2020 schedule; Mets open at home against the Braves

While baseball in 2020 is still far from a certainty given the coronavirus pandemic in America, Major League Baseball unveiled the 2020 schedule tonight in an hour-long special hosted by MLB Network.

The Mets will open their season on Friday, July 24, at Citi Field against the Braves in a game that will air on ESPN at 4:10pm EDT. Assuming all goes well health-wise, Jacob deGrom is on schedule to start Opening Day for New York. The Mets will also be featured on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball against Atlanta on July 26 at 7:08pm EDT.
