MLB teams each play 162 regular-season games, but how many MLB games are left right now depends on today’s date and what part of the season we’re in.

Quick Scoop

As of mid-February 2026, the MLB regular season has not started yet, so technically there are all 162 games left for each team in the 2026 regular season. The 2026 MLB season is scheduled to open with a standalone Opening Night game on March 25, followed by the rest of Opening Day on March 26.

Key points

  • A full MLB regular season = 162 games per team.
  • Postseason games come after those 162, starting around late September and running through October if a team qualifies.
  • Right now (February 2026), we’re still in the offseason/spring buildup, so no 2026 regular-season games have been played yet.

If you were asking “how many MLB games are left” for a specific team or date during the season, you’d subtract the number of games already played from 162, which you can track on sites like MLB.com or ESPN’s MLB schedule and standings pages.

How to check live “games left” during the season

When the season is underway, you can see exactly how many games are left by:

  1. Going to the official MLB schedule/standings page for the current season.
  1. Selecting your team to see games played (GP) and remaining dates on the calendar.
  1. Using sports schedule/standings sites (like ESPN or other schedule aggregators) that show remaining matchups and sometimes “games remaining” in the standings view.

In short: today, before Opening Day 2026, every team has its full 162-game slate still to come ; once the season begins, those same sites will give you an exact, real‑time “games left” count.
