The NC Dinos will conduct warm-up matches with three Major League Baseball (MLB) teams during the 2026 CAMP2 period, aiming to refine their skills before the upcoming season.

According to a statement released on February 18th, the Dinos will first face the San Diego Padres on February 28th in Peoria, Arizona.

The team will then travel to Glendale to play the Chicago White Sox on March 1st, and the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 3rd.

Unique Agreement with White Sox

The game against the White Sox will feature a unique format. The White Sox game will be played in the 8th and 9th innings with the NC pitcher’s White Sox team according to the agreement between the two clubs. This arrangement is designed to provide a different type of competitive experience.

Beyond Practice: A Core Schedule for Improvement

NC emphasized that these warm-up matches are more than just practice. This warm-up match goes beyond a simple practice match. Although raising the actual combat feeling to the highest climax, it also conducts multi-angle pitcher usage and combat effectiveness checks at the same time, forming the core schedule. The team has carefully planned the schedule to ensure players are in peak condition for each game.

Addressing Past Challenges

NC acknowledged previous difficulties in securing warm-up opponents during U.S. Spring training. Previously, although the U.S. Spring training camp had an excellent training environment and climate, ensuring warm-up match opponents was still an ongoing issue. However, securing these three MLB matchups represents a significant step forward.

A Focus on High-Level Competition

The team believes facing MLB competition will be invaluable. Especially, the actual battle-centered games against high-level MLB teams are expected to be an critical opportunity to further improve the completion of CAMP2, and are expected to be a process for the player team to lay the foundation for the opening of the latest season with the best competitive ability and condition.

Lin Shannan, the leader of NC Dinos stated, Through the warm-up matches with three Major League Baseball teams, we have ensured the opportunity to compete with high-level players. For our players, this will be a meaningful time to test the results of this CAMP2 and improve their adaptability for the upcoming season.

NC is prioritizing high-intensity training during CAMP2, aiming to build optimal combat effectiveness for the start of the season.
