If you’re looking to catch the very first workouts of the year in Port St. Lucie, here are the dates.
Mets pitchers and catchers will have their first official 2026 spring training workout on Wednesday, February 11, and position players will get their workouts underway on Monday, February 16.
From there, the team’s Grapefruit League schedule will get underway in pretty short order, as the Mets are set to host the Marlins for their first exhibition game of the season on Saturday, February 21. The team will play one game per day from that Saturday through Sunday, March 1, as players will get their first full off day on Monday, March 2.
With the World Baseball Classic also set to take place in March, several Mets players have either been officially announced or will be very likely to join their teams as participants in the international tournament. Those games begin on March 5 and 6, depending on which pool a team is in. And the WBC final is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at the Marlins’ ballpark in Miami.
