The schedule announced Wednesday also includes Arizona-Colorado, San Diego-Seattle and Kansas City-Texas on the first day plus Boston vs. Northeastern University and the Minnesota Twins vs. the University of Minnesota.
The World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers start on Feb. 21 against the Los Angeles Angels in Tempe, Arizona.
There will be 14 games on March 3 and 4 in which MLB teams play national teams preparing for the World Baseball Classic. The United States plays at the San Francisco Giants on March 3 and the Colorado Rockies the next day, both at spring training ballparks in Scottsdale.
The third Spring Breakout involving games between top prospects will be played from March 19-22.
The Athletics and Los Angeles Angels will play on March 7 and 8 at Las Vegas, where the A's have six regular-season games from June 8-14. The A's plan to move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
