The 2020 schedule greatly differed from the normal 162-game schedule. The World Series began on October 20 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, and ended on October 27, with the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win their first title since 1988. Īn expanded 16-team postseason tournament began on September 29, with games of all but the first round being played at neutral sites. The Blue Jays then chose to play their home games at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, home of their Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons. On July 18, the Canadian federal government denied permission for the Toronto Blue Jays to play their home games at Rogers Centre in 2020 on grounds that repeated cross-border trips by both the Blue Jays and their opponents would be a major risk due to the higher spikes in COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Dodger Stadium, which was set to host the game, went on to host the 2022 All-Star Game.

On July 3, the All-Star Game was canceled because of the delay to the regular season. Spring training resumed on July 1 and was rebranded as 'Summer Camp'. This was the first time that MLB games had been put on hold since the 2001 season, when the season was paused for over a week after the September 11 attacks. On March 16, MLB announced that the season would be postponed indefinitely, following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to restrict events of more than 50 people.
