The 2024 Major League Baseball season (MLB) began on March 20–21 with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres held in Seoul, South Korea, before the regular season proper ran from March 28 to September 30.[1][2] The 94th All-Star Game was played on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas,[3] with the American League winning, 5–3.[4] The postseason then began on October 1 and concluded with Game 5 of the World Series on October 30.[5] Going into the season, the defending World Series champions were the Texas Rangers from the 2023 season. During the offseason, the Oakland Athletics were approved by MLB owners to relocate to Las Vegas in 2028.[6][7] It was also the team's final season in Oakland as they will leave the Oakland Coliseum to temporarily play at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento for three years.[8]
Only two teams were unable to complete the entire 162-game regular season schedule, as the game between the Houston Astros and the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on September 29 was scrapped due to rain and never made up, owing to scheduling constraints and the game being inconsequential to the playoffs. It would be the first time since 2021 that a few teams played more regular season games than the others.[9]
It was also the first season since 2014 that no team won at least 100 games (not counting the shortened 2020 season).[citation needed]
