It’s a great day to be a sports fan. Not only does the Sweet 16 kick off at 7:09 p.m. ET when No. 6 BYU and No. 2 Alabama square off on CBS, but it’s also the start of the 2025 baseball season!
That’s right, Opening Day has finally arrived! Twenty-eight teams will be in action, with ESPN airing two games. The first nationally televised game will feature the New York Yankees hosting the Milwaukee Brewers at 3:00 p.m. ET (Freddy Peralta vs Carlos Rodon), and the Los Angeles Dodgers/Detroit Tigers matchup (Tarik Skubal vs Blake Snell) will serve as the nightcap (7:00 p.m. ET).
