CLEVELAND — Last July, the Cleveland Indians announced their schedule for the 2021 season.
With pitchers and catchers less than a week away from reporting to Goodyear, Arizona, for Spring Training, the Indians have announced the start times for all 162 of their games for the 2021 campaign. Of note, Cleveland's 2021 season opener, which will be a road game against the Detroit Tigers on April 1, will begin at 1:10 p.m. ET, with the Indians' home opener against the Kansas City Royals on April 5 beginning at 4:10 p.m. ET.
Additionally, Cleveland is currently scheduled to play in the two following nationally televised contests:
- Saturday, July 3 vs. the Houston Astros - Fox (7:15 p.m. ET)
- Sunday, Aug. 22 vs. the Los Angeles Angels - ESPN (7:15 p.m. ET)

Last season, Cleveland amassed a 35-25 record during an MLB season that was shortened to 60 games due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Indians' 2020 campaign marked their eighth consecutive winning season under manager Terry Francona and fourth postseason appearance in the past five years, with Cleveland's season coming to an end in a two-game sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card round.
This season, the Indians roster will look a little different from previous seasons with Cleveland having traded star shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the New York Mets. You can see the Indians' full projected starting lineups for the 2021 campaign here.
