MLB announces earliest ever Opening Day for 2027, Wrigley Field All-Star Game amid labor uncertainty

Major League Baseball just wrapped up the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia, which means it's already time to look ahead to next year's game and schedule.

MLB announced the full 2027 season schedule on Thursday afternoon, with a few notable changes from past years. Instead of the traditional late March-early April timeframe, next season will open on March 24 with one single game between two yet-to-be-determined teams.

That's the earliest date, not including international games, in baseball history.
