Spring training will officially kick off for the Colorado Rockies on February 12 when pitchers and catchers report and it won’t be long before Cactus League action begins with games taking place on February 20.
As usual, a batch of games will be available for consumption thanks to the Rockies Radio Network and the return of Rockies.TV for another year. Courtesy of a recent newsletter from MLB.com’s Thomas Harding, we know the basic schedule of the anticipated broadcasts for the Rockies crew.

It’s worth noting that the schedule above lists only the Rockies-centric broadcasts that will be available. It is worthwhile to check MLB.TV and the Gameday Audio feeds for broadcasts that are available from the opposing teams on a day the Rockies don’t have a dedicated broadcast. All MLB.TV streams have typically been free to watch or listen to during spring training if you have an MLB.com account, no purchase necessary.
One of the more notable games will be the match-up against Team USA on March 4 as they get a tune-up for the World Baseball Classic. Additionally, the Spring Breakout game featuring top prospects from the Rockies and the Diamondbacks will take place on March 21. Broadcast info has not been ironed out for that game yet.
The broadcasting crews have not officially been announced, but it is expected that Drew Goodman will continue his role as the primary play-by-play for the TV crew, while Jack Corrigan returns as the primary radio voice for KOA. It’s not yet known at the time of writing who will join Corrigan on the radio side, if at all, after long-time co-announcer Jerry Schemmel was laid off this offseason by iHeartRadio.
