The Nippon League tried to play exhibition games in empty stadiums and stopped. Players started testing positive and were quarantined. Exposed teammates had to be quarantined. The start of the season has been pushed back three times.

I’ve never watched a WNBA game. I don’t care to. But they pushed off the start of preseason and opening day (5/15). If pro sports are going to be pushed out chances are youth sports are going to be pushed off the table.

My friend who is an MLB contractor says July is the earliest under discussion, probably empty, neutral sites.

Taiwan's professional baseball league has started games, and is broadcasting them live in English (but you have to be awake at 5 am EST):
