SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona Diamondbacks kick off the 2022 spring schedule at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale.
Games were supposed to start in late February, but a lockout canceled more than a dozen games before players and Major League Baseball agreed on a deal last week.
Training camps in Florida and Arizona will open Friday, and the mandatory reporting date is Sunday. Exhibition games will begin on March 17 or 18.
Here's how to catch all the Diamondbacks action throughout the spring training schedule.
Fans will be able to catch 20 Diamondbacks spring training games broadcast on television, radio and webcast, according to the Diamondbacks broadcast schedule.
Nine will air live on Bally Sports Arizona with Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly on the call for four and the other five as opponent broadcasts.
The final spring game against the Cleveland Guardians will be on Bally Sports on Tues., April 5 live at Chase Field and will feature a 30-minute "D-Backs Live" pre-and postgame show starting at noon, the team said.
A combination of Arizona's Sports 98.7 FM and ESPN 620 AM will also broadcast 11 Diamondbacks spring games, according to the team's schedule.
