Florida hosts three NFL and 18 college football teams and is the home of eight college football bowl games, giving fans plenty of options. The NFL kicks off its 52nd season of play this weekend as the Jacksonville Jaguars travel to play the Houston Texans. The Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were scheduled to open the season at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, but weather has forced the game to be moved to November.

For decades, cities throughout Florida have been fortunate to host MLB Spring Training games in the Grapefruit League, including my hometown of Dunedin where I played Little League. With our beautiful weather, top notch facili- ties and unrivaled fanbase, I look forward to another successful MLB Spring Training season and wish every team participating in the Grapefruit League the very best. — Governor Ron DeSantis Welcome to one of the highlights of the sports year in the State of Florida. The 2020 Major League Baseball Florida Spring Training season. For just over 30 days in February and March, Florida is in the spotlight of the national sports eye as Major League Baseball players prepare for their upcoming seasons.
