Royals announce 2020 spring training schedule, report dates

If you’re looking ahead to the next Royals season, Feb. 12 is a key date. That’s when pitchers and catchers will begin spring-training workouts in Surprise, Arizona ahead of the 2020 season.

Position players will start their workouts on Feb. 17.

The Royals will open Cactus League play with a charity game against the Texas Rangers, who share Surprise Stadium with the Royals.

To cap their spring schedule, the Royals will play a pair of games in Milwaukee before heading to Chicago to face the White Sox in the season opener.

There’s no exhibition game planned for Omaha in 2020. All of the following games are in Arizona, except the final two in Milwaukee (SS designates split squad). All times are Central.

KCSP (610 AM) and sister station 1660 AM will have radio broadcasts for most of the games. Other audio broadcasts can be streamed on Royals.com.
