This is the time of year when fans are asking when are the 2026 MLB schedules released? Even though there’s still a lot of baseball left to be played in 2025, many teams are already looking at next season. The exact date of the release is normally kept pretty quiet, but we’ll do our best to give you the best estimate based on when they came out in past seasons.
Past MLB Schedule Release Dates
Here are the past MLB schedule release dates for you going back to 2016. As you can see, MLB has preferred July the past two years (and a Thursday for the day of the week too).
| Year | Date | Day of Week |
| 2025 | July 18th, 2024 | Thursday |
| 2024 | July 13th, 2023 | Thursday |
| 2023 | August 24th, 2022 | Wednesday |
| 2022 | August 4th, 2021 | Wednesday |
| 2021 | July 9th, 2020 | Thursday |
| 2020 | August 12, 2019 | Monday |
| 2019 | August 22, 2018 | Wednesday |
| 2018 | September 12, , 2017 | Tuesday |
| 2017 | September 14, 2016 | Wednesday |
| 2016 | September 8, 2015 | Tuesday |
When are the 2026 MLB Schedules Released?
Now, they will either keep to form and make the announcement after the 2025 MLB All Star Game and 2025 MLB Draft this season. Or, we could see them jump back in time and wait until its almost 2025 MLB Playoff time to make the announcement. Our prediction is we see them make the release on Thursday, July 18th, 2025 if the skeds are coming out in July. If not, then likely it will be mid-August.
