2026 FML Minor League/International DraftThe 2026 FML Minor League/International draft will get underway on Tuesday, Aug. 17, with prioritized draft lists due that day by 1 p.m., CDT. The signing deadline for July MLB draftees is expected to be Saturday, Aug. 1. Since the MLB trade deadline is Monday, Aug. 3, the delay until Aug. 17 will allow enough time for special auctions to occur before the FML draft starts. Click here for more FML draft information.
2027 FML Auction/MLB Opening NightMajor League Baseball has announced that 2027 Opening Night will be Wednesday, March 24, which would slot the FML Auction to Saturday, March 20 at the home of Bill Levy in Deerfield, Ill. Except it may not be that simple. With baseball’s collective bargaining agreement with the players expiring at Midnight on Dec. 1, another lockout by the owners seems likely. Last time this happened, in 2021-22, agreement wasn’t reached until early-March, and Opening Day was postponed about two weeks. Without the benefit of a crystal ball, the best advice I can offer would be to keep March 27, April 3 and April 10 (all Saturdays) open for now.
