The 1935 schedule consisted of 154 games for all teams in the American League and National League, each of which had eight teams. Each team was scheduled to play 22 games against the other seven teams of their respective league. This continued the format put in place since the 1904 season (except for 1919) and would be used until 1961 in the American League and 1962 in the National League.

Opening Day took place on April 16 and saw twelve teams across both leagues play. The final day of the regular season was on September 29 and featured all sixteen teams, continuing the trend which began with the 1930 season. The World Series took place between October 2 and October 7.
