While there has been no formal announcement, multiple reports suggest that the MLBPA has informed Major League Baseball that players will report to Spring Training 2.0 on July 1. Both sides are apparently still finalizing health and safety protocols but things seem to be progressing well in that regard.
The Major League Baseball Players Association has agreed to report to training camps by July 1 and play a 60-game season, sources tell ESPN, but deal is not finalized yet.

One last health-and-safety hurdle to get over and Major League Baseball will be back a week from tomorrow.
The league had asked for an answer on whether players could report by July 1 and for the union to sign off on health protocols by Tuesday at 5 p.m. However, that deadline came and went without an announcement. It appears that both sides may still be busy hammering out the final details on the health issues.
The regular season will be slated to begin on July 24 and will include a 60-game season that is played over 66 days. We will add more details as they become available.
UPDATE - The league and players have resolved all remaining issues and players will report to camp by July 1.
The 2020 @MLB season is happening! Statement from @MLB_PLAYERS: “All remaining issues have been resolved and Players are reporting to training camps.” @MLBNetwork

MLB agrees to union’s proposal in health/safety protocol that all players who cohabitate with a high-risk individual, including a pregnant spouse, has the right to opt out and be paid with service time. Previously, it was only high-risk players who could opt out and still be paid
