Seasons

The 2020 Seattle Mariners season is the 44th season in franchise history. The Mariners are playing their 21st full season (22nd overall) at T-Mobile Park, their home ballpark. The Mariners enter this season with the longest active playoff drought in the four North American professional sports attempting to make their first postseason since 2001. They also enter this season as the only team to not win a league pennant.

On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled. Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks. On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.
