Every year, Cubs Spring Training signals the start of a new baseball season filled with preparation, competition, and anticipation. While fans focus on the Cactus League action in Arizona, a major logistical operation takes place behind the scenes. As the official mover of the Chicago Cubs, Midway Moving will once again play a key role in bringing the team and its equipment back to Wrigley Field following Spring Training.
On March 18, 2026, our team will pick up the Cubs and their equipment in Arizona. From there, we will transport everything cross-country, with delivery scheduled between March 20 and March 21, 2026, ensuring the team has everything in place as they prepare for the regular season in Chicago.
This transition will be about much more than transportation. It will require coordination, precision, and careful execution to support one of Chicago’s most iconic organizations.

What Cubs Spring Training Means for the 2026 Season
Cubs Spring Training takes place each year in Mesa, Arizona, where the team competes in the Cactus League. Beginning in mid-February, pitchers and catchers report first, followed shortly by the full squad. Over several weeks, the Cubs participate in practices, exhibition games, and final roster evaluations.
By mid-March, Cactus League play concludes and the organization prepares for its return to Chicago. That is when Midway Moving will step in to manage the logistics of bringing everything home.
We Are Moving the Cubs to Chicago in Preparation for Opening Day
The return from Cubs Spring Training marks the official transition from preseason to regular-season preparation.
Preparing for Opening Day
Once back in Chicago, the team will begin:
- Final workouts at Wrigley Field
- Clubhouse organization
- Media appearances and promotional activities
- Final roster confirmations
Opening Day in Chicago is more than a game, it is a tradition. Ensuring everything is in place allows the players and staff to focus entirely on performance.
Stadium and Operational Setup
Wrigley Field must also be fully prepared for the regular season. Upon arrival, equipment will be organized and installed, including:
- Dugout configurations
- Video and replay systems
- Training room equipment
- Uniform inventory
- Equipment storage systems
A smooth transition will allow the organization to move seamlessly from Spring Training into regular-season mode.
Fan and Community Anticipation

Behind that excitement is a precisely coordinated move.
