Major League Baseball has officially announced the 2027 regular-season schedule, providing a roadmap for the upcoming campaign. While the league and teams have outlined a full slate of games, the current planning reflects a season that will proceed only if operations go as expected, with a potential lockout looming over the sport. For now, the schedule serves as the primary reference for fans and organizations to begin marking key dates on their calendars.
Detroit Tigers Set Earliest Opening Day at Comerica Park
Opening Day and March Logistics
The 2027 regular season is scheduled to commence on Thursday, March 25. For the Detroit Tigers, this date holds special significance, as they will host the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park in Detroit. This marks the earliest regular-season game in Tigers history. By comparison, the Tigers played their 2026 home opener on April 3, eight days later in the calendar year than the 2027 opener. The last time the Tigers hosted an Opening Day was on April 8, 2022, resulting in a 5-4 walk-off win against the White Sox.
The Atlanta Braves also begin their season on March 25, traveling to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers. The Braves are slated to play their first six games on the road before returning to Atlanta for their home opener on Friday, April 2, against the Houston Astros. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs face a unique challenge, as Major League Baseball has scheduled them to play six home games before the end of March. While one recent experience in the «Frigid Confines» of Wrigley Field featured a 77-degree day, five other games during that same span averaged a game-time temperature of 46 degrees.

The All-Star Game and Mid-Season Highlights
The 97th MLB All-Star Game is set to take place on Tuesday, July 13, at Wrigley Field in Chicago, with the Home Run Derby scheduled for the night before. Following the break, the schedule intensifies for various clubs. The Chicago Cubs have a significant stretch of travel, including a long road trip in June to Colorado, San Diego, and San Francisco. In San Diego, the Cubs are scheduled to play a split doubleheader against the Padres on June 22. Conversely, the Cubs’ longest homestand of the season arrives in September, featuring 10 games against the Cincinnati Reds, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Mets.
Atlanta Braves Host New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox
Interleague Play and Seasonal Closures
The interleague schedule includes several marquee matchups. The New York Yankees are set to visit Atlanta for a weekend series from Friday, June 18, to Sunday, June 20. This series offers the potential for the Braves to welcome back Max Fried to Truist Park. Additionally, the Boston Red Sox are scheduled to face the Braves at Truist Park from May 18 to May 20. Other teams slated to visit Atlanta as part of the interleague schedule include the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Angels.
As the season nears its conclusion, the Atlanta Braves will finish their regular season with a six-game homestand. They are scheduled to host the Washington Nationals from Tuesday, Sept. 21, to Thursday, Sept. 23, followed by a series against the Miami Marlins from Friday, Sept. 24, to Sept. 26. In contrast, the Detroit Tigers are slated to wrap up their 2027 campaign with a season-finale series on the road against the Minnesota Twins.
Cameron Flukey and Evan Dempsey Sign with Detroit Tigers
Organizational Outlook
The schedule release for the Detroit Tigers was accompanied by a social media collaboration with the Detroit Red Wings, who also released their schedule on Thursday, July 16. The video featured the Tigers mascot, Paws, making plans for the upcoming season. While teams continue to move forward with roster building—as evidenced by the Tigers recently signing two draft picks, first-rounder Cameron Flukey and Competitive Balance pick Evan Dempsey from the 2026 draft—the broader baseball community remains aware of the uncertainty surrounding the 2027 season. Because a lockout is expected, there is no guarantee that the season will unfold exactly as currently planned.
