Cactus League set for 78th spring: 15 MLB teams, 10 Valley ballparks
The Valley’s rite of spring is back. The Cactus League opens its 78th campaign with 15 Major League clubs training across 10 ballparks, giving fans close‑up looks before Opening Day [1][2].The Arizona Cactus League Association coordinates and promotes the circuit’s spring schedule and fan experience, with games traditionally launching in late February across the West Valley and beyond [1][2].The association operates as a nonprofit — registered as Cactus League Baseball Association Inc (EIN 27‑0964454) — and has been tax‑exempt since 2014. Public listings place the group in the West Valley, with Glendale and Peoria addresses on file [3][4].Beyond the baseline work of running camps and games, the Cactus League is a tourism magnet that fills Valley ballparks and draws traveling fans looking to see their clubs tune up for the regular season [1]. For schedules, stadium maps, and ticket info, the league’s official site centralizes details for all 10 venues [2].
