MLB proposes shortening regular season to 154 games amid salary cap push
On Oct. 8, 2026, Major League Baseball proposed shortening its regular season from 162 games to 154 games, with the new schedule set to begin in 2029, as it attempts to convince players to approve a salary cap and a salary floor in the league's next collective bargaining agreement, which expires Dec. 1. The proposal also includes cementing Monday as an exclusive national broadcast window, extending the divisional round of the playoffs from five to seven games, and allowing higher-seeded teams to choose their lower-seeded opponents. The Major League Baseball Players Association responded that the proposals are contingent on players agreeing to a salary cap, called them anti-player, and said players will weigh in and respond at the bargaining table.
