The Royals announced their 2021 spring training schedule with fingers crossed, as there is still a great deal of doubt as to what the sports climate will look like by spring due to the pandemic. The Royals are tentatively set to begin the Cactus League schedule on February 27 against their Surprise Stadium partners, the Texas Rangers. They will play 30 exhibition games through March 28, followed by three off days before the regular season begins. The Royals will begin the regular season on Thursday, April 1 at home against the Rangers.
There is no indication yet if fans will be allowed for these games.
