MLB Announces 2027 Schedule, Dodgers Set for Opening Day Against Braves

Season opener, holiday games, and historic ballpark visits highlighted in new schedule

Major League Baseball unveiled its 2027 schedule on Thursday, laying out a 162‑game slate that kicks off with a marquee opening series.

Opening Day sets the tone

The Dodgers will begin the season on March 25 against the Atlanta Braves, a matchup that promises fireworks from the first pitch and marks the start of a long campaign.

Holiday highlights are scattered throughout the calendar, with the club slated to host games on Easter Sunday, Mother’s Day, Juneteenth, Father’s Day and Independence Day, giving families plenty of opportunities to attend without traveling.

The schedule also includes the Dodgers’ first visits to Fenway Park and Wrigley Field in 2027, bringing the storied venues into the NL West schedule for the first time in years.

Two Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Angels are slated for the summer, while the second half of the season features rematches of the recent World Series against the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays.

September brings critical division battles against the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks, culminating in a road trip to Colorado and Arizona that could decide the NL West crown.

With holiday games, trips to iconic stadiums and a slate of high‑stakes division matchups, the 2027 season promises a busy and exciting schedule for fans across the country.
