Spring Training games will start soon after the Guardians complete these important dates. Cleveland opens Cactus League action against the Cincinnati Reds on February 22, 2025 (3:05 PM EST), at Goodyear Ballpark.

The Guardians have a lot of work to do to reclaim the top spot in the American League Central and get back to the ALCS, where they were eliminated just a season ago.

All of the work and preparation for the fall start in the spring, and that'll be here before we know it.
