The World Series is over, but the Cleveland Guardians are already putting their focus on Spring Training for the 2026 season.
Stephen Vogt's Guardians are still a few months away from going to Goodyear, but they know where and who they will be playing. Here's a look at the team's schedule for spring training:
The first games in Arizona come on Feb. 21 against the Reds and Brewers.

The game against the Angels is the team's annual "Spring Breakout" game, which will give the Guardians' top prospects a chance to shine.

This year's Spring Training will take place with the 2026 World Baseball Classic taking some of the attention away from the exhibition games. The World Baseball Classic comes every four years, so it's an exciting time for the sport.
That being said, it should be a big year for the Guardians as well. The team is coming off another playoff appearance that was fueled by an incredible run in September that led to the team's third AL Central title in four years.
It will be a long winter, but once February rolls around, the Guardians will begin their run towards the World Series.
