Astros Spring Training Set: Labor Fight Looms

The Houston Astros' 2027 spring training schedule has been finalized, with the team slated to open Grapefruit League play on February 19th in West Palm Beach, Florida, against the Washington Nationals. This schedule, released by Major League Baseball, includes 15 home games for the Astros at the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches.

However, the entire spring training and potentially regular season could be disrupted by an anticipated labor dispute. The current collective bargaining agreement is set to expire on December 1st, and a lockout is widely expected, mirroring disruptions seen in 2022. The Astros are also scheduled for two exhibition games against Triple-A Sugar Land in late March before their regular-season opener.
