When MLB Pitchers and Catchers Report for 2026 Spring Training

MLB players will begin defrosting in February for the start of spring training ahead of the 2026 regular season, which begins at the end of March.

The players from all 30 teams will either travel down to the Cactus League in Arizona or the Grapefruit League in Florida in February to compete in spring training.

Notably, the first players to report each season are the pitchers and catchers, as they tend to arrive a few days before the rest of their teammates do.

Here’s a breakdown of when each team’s pitchers and catchers will have their first workouts ahead of spring training. Teams will begin the workouts either on Feb. 10, 11, 12 or 13. These dates are subject to change.
