While the Cardinals’ 2019 season is still moving along, it’s never too early to look ahead. MLB announced the 2020 schedule on Monday, and there are many dates to circle and anticipate.
It starts with Opening Day on March 26, when all 30 teams play, and the earliest to start the season in Cardinals franchise history. The Cardinals open the season on the road against Cincinnati for three games, then go to Milwaukee for three.
The Cardinals will open their 2020 home schedule with an Interleague series for the first time in franchise history. The Orioles -- who used to be the St. Louis Browns -- will visit St. Louis for the first time in 17 years on April 2 and play a three-game series.
The Cardinals don’t host the rival Cubs until June 13-14 -- at London Stadium in the U.K. for the 2020 series. It’s their first ever regular-season “home” game outside of St. Louis. Because of the two-game London Series, the Cardinals will play 79 games in St. Louis in 2020 and have two scheduled off-days before the London Series to travel.
