MLB schedule 2020: Cubs, White Sox to open season July 24, according to report

Major League Baseball intends to unveil its 2020 schedule on Monday, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Saturday.

When MLB announced its impending return last month, it said the season would start July 23 or 24, depending on the team. According to Nightengale, the Yankees and Nationals, and the Dodgers and Giants, will square off in nationally televised games on July 23.

So, Opening Day will be July 24 for the Cubs and White Sox.
