The 2015 Major League Baseball season will start with a Sunday night game on April 5, with the other 28 teams slated to open play the following day.

Fifteen openers are scheduled for April 6 and one of them will be moved up a day for an ESPN telecast, it was announced on Monday.

The regular season is to end Oct. 4, which means the World Series would be scheduled to start Oct. 28 if the current postseason format is maintained. A seventh game would be Nov. 5 under that format.
