What Day In 2024 Will Be Sports Equinox Date. 21 is the first sports equinox of 2021 and the 25th such day since 1971. The rare sports equinox typically only occurs in october because the nfl is in the middle of its season, the nhl and nba are just beginning and the mlb is.
The equinox is the time of year when the sun is at its zenith at the earth’s equator, and the earth is at right angles (taking the poles) to the sun’s rays. The meteorological first day of spring is the same every year and occurs.
