2023 MLB Opening Day
It felt like it would never get here, but at long last Opening Day is upon us! What made it feel especially doubtful this year was the ongoing drama between MLB and Diamond Sports Group, which operates the collection of 19 Bally Sports regional sports networks that broadcast the games of 14 teams around the league.
That drama is still ongoing, but it appears there will be MLB games on Bally Sports RSNs to start the season, at least. Check below for a full schedule of Opening Day games! Rockies, Padres, Diamondbacks and Dodgers fans take note; your favorite team is still working out how to proceed without an RSN partner, so games may not be available initially.
