The Phillies will be one of 11 teams that will be featured this spring on ESPN and ESPN+.

This year we will get to see the Phillies in Grapefruit League play on Thur, March 2, at noon against the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla. on ESPN. The team will also play the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin on Fri, Mar. 24 at 6pm.

The Phillies will begin their spring training slate on Friday, Feb. 25 with split squad openings against the New York Yankees in Clearwater and Tigers in Lakeland.

The team previously announced their schedule for all 13 televised spring training games on NBC Sports Philadelphia or NBC Sports Philadelphia +, which will begin with their opener against the Yankees.

That means there will be 13 games shown locally and two games shown nationally this spring.
