Major League Baseball announced its 2027 regular-season schedule on Thursday. The campaign opens March 24 with a game streamed on Netflix.

The 2027 season begins Wednesday, March 24, when two teams to be determined face off in an Opening Night game on Netflix. Traditional Opening Day follows on Thursday, March 25, with 14 games involving all but those two clubs.

The first full slate for all 30 teams is set for Saturday, March 27. Full-slate days also include Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, Memorial Day on May 31, Lou Gehrig Day on June 2, Independence Day on July 4, Labor Day on Sept. 6 and Roberto Clemente Day on Sept. 15.

The 97th All-Star Game will be played at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, July 13, with the Home Run Derby the prior day on Netflix. The second half starts July 15 on ESPN as part of Rivalry Weekend. The regular season concludes Sunday, Sept. 26.

Users noted the earliest traditional Opening Day on March 25 and Netflix Opening Night on March 24 as historic. Journalists shared schedule details including Cubs home opener and Wrigley All-Star Game. Skepticism appeared over potential CBA issues affecting the season.

MLB releasing the 2027 schedule is as depressing as I expected it would be seeing as we know there’s no chance many (and possibly any) of these games will actually be played.
