The bad news for Philadelphia Phillies fans everywhere is that they must wait four months until they can see their team in action once again after another disappointing October. Some exciting news, however, was announced earlier this week when each MLB team's 2026 spring training schedule was revealed, with some interesting twists.
Next March marks the return of baseball's premier international tournament, the World Baseball Classic. Just as they've done in the past, WBC squads will tune up by playing against MLB teams in early March. The Phillies were chosen as one of those teams and will play Team Canada in a matchup that highlights their 80th season playing in Clearwater.
