MLB Will Have Earliest Opening Day Ever in 2027 and the Twins Begin in Kansas City March 25
MLB said the season could shift if labor talks stall, and no international games are scheduled without a new agreement.
- On Thursday, Major League Baseball unveiled the 2027 regular season schedule for all 30 clubs, setting Opening Day for March 25—the earliest in league history—with the first game televised on Netflix.
- Labor uncertainty threatens the schedule as baseball's labor contract expires December 1, with a management lockout expected similar to the 99-day 2021-22 offseason stoppage that delayed Opening Day from March 31 to April 7.
- Opening matchups include the Cleveland Guardians at the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves at the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Wrigley Field will host the All-Star Game on July 13.
- The Seattle Mariners will host their fifth consecutive Opening Day game against the Boston Red Sox on March 25, while Boston's annual Marathon Monday game on April 19 concludes a four-game set against the Guardians.
- Fans should view this schedule with caution due to protracted labor negotiations; no international games are currently scheduled for the 2027 season without a ratified collective bargaining agreement.
