2020 sports schedule: NHL exhibitions continue; An up to date look at this year’s sports calendar

When the pandemic hit in March, sporting events around the globe were canceled or postponed. Some leagues and tournaments were forced to cancel, others paused with the hope of restarting, but all had to adjust by hook or by crook.

As countries and states started opening back up, many leagues that paused created a plan to restart and those who did not start yet began organizing a secure way to carry out their season.

“Bubbles” have been created for players to live, fans were not permitted at many events and new health protocols were in place for athletes.

Of the events canceled, the men’s and women’s NCAA championship tournaments, Wimbledon, the dressing Open (ATP/WTA), the Open Championship and The Players Championship are one of the most biggest. The College World Series, Little League World Series and Baseball Corridor of Fame induction were also canceled.
