The sweet, sweet springtime is nearly here. From the moment the Atlanta Braves concluded their 2025 season (and perhaps even a bit before), every fan has been waiting for the day pitchers and catchers report for 2026 spring training. It's where hopeful prospects get the chance to shine, and fans get to see their favorite players take the diamond once again.
In preparation for this joyous time of year, we’ve decided to cover all the frequently asked questions fans may have during the spring. Below, you’ll find answers to the most important questions asked during spring training, including the Braves’ schedule, where you can watch games, and how to purchase tickets to attend games at CoolToday Park.
#Braves pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training on February 9th. First workout is February 10th. First full squad workout is February 15th.

How can I buy Braves' spring training tickets?
Because the World Baseball Classic will take place this spring, many teams will be operating differently in 2026. Preparing 26-man rosters for Opening Day always looks a bit different in WBC years, as stars like Ronald Acuna Jr. play in tournament action for their native countries.
However, attending a game at CoolToday Park is still a great experience if you can make it happen. Single-game tickets to various spring training games are available for purchase on the official Braves website.
How can I watch Braves' spring training games?
The ever-evolving question of how to watch Major League Baseball games remains in the news cycle. Braves fans, in particular, are all too familiar with the challenges of watching their favorite team on TV. Last season, watching Braves spring training was more accessible than it had been in years.
Unfortunately, we have yet to get an announced plan for televised Braves spring training games. Last season, the spring training TV schedule was announced in mid-January, so hopefully we get a resolution soon. If the plan is anything similar to last season, fans can expect to watch the Braves across multiple outlets, including their primary home station (likely FanDuel Sports Network), MLB.TV, and online at Braves.com.
