MLB 2027 schedule revealed: When is opening day? Will there even be a season?

Major League Baseball announced its schedule for the 2027 season on Thursday, July 16 – assuming there is going to be a season to play next year.

The current collective bargaining agreement ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1, and there could be a lockout if issues such as owners’ calls for a salary cap are not resolved by then.

For now, opening day is set for March 24 with a standalone game on Netflix. MLB has yet to announce the teams playing in that game.

There are no international games on the schedule. The All-Star Game will take place at Wrigley Field in Chicago on July 13, and the regular season is set to end Sept. 26.
