The Cincinnati Reds return to baseball action today at 3:05 PM ET, kicking off their 2026 Cactus League campaign in the cozy home confines of Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. They’ll do so as the away team, however, as it will be the Cleveland Guardians claiming the home game from the dugout on the other side of their own home complex, too.
Chase Burns will get the start for the Reds in his first in-game quest to earn the fifth and final spot in Cincinnati’s starting rotation come Opening Day, though I’d be shocked if he pitched more than two innings – if that.
The game will be carried by Reds.tv in market, or you can watch it out of market per usual via MLB.tv. Or, if you prefer, the Cleveland broadcast will be carried on Guardians.tv if you reside in the Cleveland media market.
Baseball is officially unofficially back, folks!
