The Atlanta Braves’ 2019 spring training season at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort officially begins Friday, Feb. 15, when pitchers and catchers report to Champion Stadium.

The Braves have trained at Disney since 1997 and now begin their 22nd and final season at Disney. Winners of the 2018 National League East crown, the Braves are moving their spring training operations to Sarasota County (North Port, Florida) for the 2020 Major League Baseball season.

The team is hoping to start its 2019 season off right at Disney, beginning a quest for its first consecutive division championship since the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Here are five key facts for the final season of Braves spring training at Disney:

  • Atlanta will play a 16-game home spring training schedule at Champion Stadium beginning Monday, Feb. 25, when it hosts the Washington Nationals at 1:05 p.m.
  • The Braves will play their final spring training home game at Champion Stadium on Saturday, March 23, against the New York Mets.
  • Atlanta is moving spring training operations to Sarasota County (North Port, Fla.) in 2020.
  • Atlanta will play three spring training games against two clubs that qualified for the 2018 postseason (Houston Astros, March 4 & 17); and the New York Yankees (March 18).
  • Braves will play three night games under the lights during 2019 spring training action – Philadelphia Phillies, March 8; New York Yankees, March 18; and Detroit Tigers, March 22.

Disney character appearances and special moments such as kids running the bases after every game are some of the entertainment opportunities that make Braves spring training at Disney a unique experience.
