MLB announced the schedule for the 2027 season Thursday.

The first game of the new campaign will be March 24, with the matchup yet to be determined. Traditional Opening Day is March 25, which is the earliest date in MLB history.

Here are the season-opening games for each team.

Away Home
Guardians Cubs
Cardinals Reds
White Sox Tigers
Rangers Astros
Twins Royals
Braves Dodgers
Mets Marlins
Angels Brewers
Blue Jays Yankees
Athletics Pirates
Diamondbacks Padres
Rockies Giants
Red Sox Mariners
Orioles Rays

The 97th All-Star Game will be at Chicago's Wrigley Field on July 13, and the Home Run Derby is set for July 12. Other key dates include Jackie Robinson Day (April 15), Memorial Day (May 31), Lou Gehrig Day (June 2), the Fourth of July, Labor Day (Sept. 6), and Roberto Clemente Day (Sept. 15).

The third-annual Rivalry Weekend takes place when the second half resumes July 15.

The regular season ends Sept. 26.

The looming labor dispute between MLB and the MLBPA could impact the 2027 campaign, as the current collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1. When the league and union last negotiated a new CBA in 2022, the season didn't start until April 7 due to a lockout.
