By Isabel Gonzalez Oct 20, 2022 at 9:19 am ET • 2 min read Getty Images The second best two words in sports is happening this week: Sports Equinox. On Thursday Oct. 20, there will be no shortage of action as the five major sports leagues in North America -- NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NHL -- will all be playing. These special days tend to happen October or November, which are around the time NBA and NHL start, NFL is in midseason form, and MLB and MLS are wrapping up.
