2027 Grapefruit League Schedule: Reporting Dates
Players can report as early as February 9. Pitchers and catchers usually report first, and position players follow about five days later.
The first Grapefruit League games are scheduled for Friday, February 19. Split-squad games will also be part of the schedule. A club can send different groups of players to two ballparks that day.
Schedule note: MLB’s 2027 Spring Training schedule is subject to change. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires December 1, 2026, and labor negotiations could affect the offseason or Spring Training.
2027 Spring Breakout Tournament
Spring Breakout takes on a new format in 2027. MLB will introduce a single-elimination tournament instead of exhibition games. Each Major League organization will field a team of prospects. The tournament will crown separate champions in the Grapefruit League and Cactus League.
MLB says the new format will take place in late March. The complete 2027 schedule, matchups and bracket remain unannounced.
