The 2022 Major League Baseball season is scheduled to open March 31 with all 30 teams on the field.
Scheduled is the key word, however. Amid a contentious relationship between players and owners, the potential for the first work stoppage since 1995 looms. The collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1.
Still, planning for the season begins.
The Opening Day schedule consists of 11 divisional matchups and an interleague game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros at Houston s Minute Maid Park.
The season s interleague play will feature the American League East vs. the National League Central, the AL Central vs. the NL West, and the AL West vs. the NL East.

A Chicago Fire side desperate for a victory may be facing the visiting Philadelphia Union at the worst possible time Saturday evening.
Chicago (1-7-1, four points) has lost six of its past seven games, including a Wednesday night home loss to lowly FC Cincinnati, a team that also entered the night with only one victory.
The last-place Fire have scored just one goal in that seven-game stretch and have a league-worst four goals on the season.
Adding to their frustration, a late equalizer by Robert Beric against Cincy was disallowed for offside.
