KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There is still over a month left in the 2021 MLB regular season, but the Royals' 32-game exhibition schedule for 2022 spring training has been released.
It's the club's 54th spring training and the 20th time the Royals will spend it in Surprise, Arizona.
The club will open up play on Feb. 26 against the Texas Rangers, with whom they share Surprise Stadium.
The Royals' schedule features 15 home games, plus two as the visiting team at Surprise Stadium.
There are three days off and four split-squad dates on the spring training calendar for Kansas City.
The Royals' final game in Cactus League play will be Saturday, March 26 against Texas. But the Royals' final two games of spring training will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for two exhibition games before the start of the regular season on Thursday, March 31 at Progressive Field against the newly-branded Cleveland Guardians.
Game times will be announced at a later date.
