How to Watch Nationals vs Marlins

Spring Training is officially underway as teams prepare for the 2026 MLB regular season. While the home runs and strikeouts do not show up on the back of a baseball card, Spring Training play is essential for veteran players to get live reps against other top-tier talent, and it also provides an opportunity for younger prospects to show off their skills while journeymen attempt to crack the Opening Day roster for new teams.

The Washington Nationals finished the 2025 season with a 66–96 record, placing 5th in the National League East. They head into 2026 with CJ Abrams powering the offense and young pitchers Mitchell Parker, MacKenzie Gore, and Josiah Gray.

The Miami Marlins finished the 2025 season with a 79–83 record, placing 3rd in the National League East. They enter the 2026 season led by Sandy Alcántara, their ace pitcher poised for a bounce-back campaign, and Otto Lopez, a key everyday contributor in the lineup.

This is a great Spring Training matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
