For 2024, the Florida and Arizona Complex Leagues will begin and finish their seasons a month earlier than before.
Last year, the two complex leagues began on June 5 and finished on Aug. 22. This year, they will begin on May 4 and will wrap up on July 25, which means the regular season will be complete just days after the 2024 MLB draft finishes.
All 30 MLB teams discussed changes to the complex leagues with MLB all last season. Farm Directors voted to move the season up after considering multiple proposals for different tweaks. In the end, the decision changes the leagues from ones heavily populated by new draftees to ones that will largely be filled with players making the jump from the Dominican Summer League.
