Major League Baseball has released the New York Mets’ 2027 regular‑season schedule, a 162‑game slate that begins on the road in Miami on March 2 and wraps up with a six‑game homestand against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs on September 26. The timetable outlines a season that stretches from early spring to late autumn, featuring a mix of home‑field advantages and extensive travel.
Opening Days
The Mets open their campaign with a road game against the Miami Marlins on March 2, then return to New York for their home opener at Citi Field on April 2 against the San Francisco Giants. The early schedule sets a tone of immediate competition, pitting the club against both familiar NL East rivals and a strong West Coast opponent.
Throughout the summer, the Mets will host the New York Yankees over Memorial Day weekend and travel to the Bronx for the Subway Series after the All‑Star break. Additional high‑profile series include matchups against the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, each promising heightened excitement for fans and broadcast partners alike.
Midseason Road Trip and Homestands
In late June and early July, the club embarks on a ten‑game road trip that takes them through St. Louis, Arizona and Los Angeles, testing their resilience on the road. The schedule also features two nine‑game homestands — one in June and another in August — that provide opportunities to build momentum and fine‑tune strategies against a variety of opponents.
The Mets will also play three games at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox in July, adding a historic venue to their itinerary. A potential final series in Sacramento is slated for April, a nod to the Athletics’ pending move to Las Vegas in 2028, before the team returns to New York for the season‑ending six‑game homestand.
Labor Outlook
The release comes amid uncertainty surrounding a possible labor dispute. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire on December 1, 2026, and negotiations could lead to a lockout that might delay the start of the season. The last work stoppage, which lasted 99 days in 2021‑22, pushed the schedule back by a week, underscoring the stakes for players, teams and the league.
