Major League Baseball announced the 2027 regular season schedule on Thursday, laying out a 162‑game slate that will see the New York Yankees open the campaign on home soil.
The Yankees will welcome the Toronto Blue Jays for Opening Day on Thursday, March 25, marking the first time in years that the club begins its season with a home game against its American League East rival.
What follows is a six‑game home stretch that includes a series against the Oakland Athletics after the Blue Jays depart, giving the Bronx faithful a chance to settle into the new season without immediately hitting the road.
The schedule also guarantees six Subway Series matchups against the New York Mets, with three of those contests slated for Citi Field in Queens from May 28 through May 30 and the remaining three at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
A pivotal stretch ahead
As the season progresses, the Yankees’ final nine games could prove decisive in the AL East race, highlighted by a three‑game series at home against the Boston Red Sox and a closing road trip that takes them to Toronto and Baltimore.
With a blend of early momentum and late‑season pressure, the Yankees’ 2027 slate offers both opportunities and challenges, setting the stage for a potentially historic year in the Bronx.
