2020 Major League Baseball season

The 2020 Major League Baseball (MLB) season was shortened to 60 games from the usual 162 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which also delayed the start until July. Teams played mainly within their regions to reduce travel, and games were held without fans in attendance. The postseason expanded to include more teams, culminating in the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series, their first title in 32 years. The season emphasized safety protocols, such as regular testing and limited contact, making it a unique and challenging year for professional baseball.
