So if you're here, you may be wondering: When is Opening Day 2026? The answer is: It's kind of complicated.
No, there aren't any international games (probably because the 2026 World Baseball Classic was plenty!). It's because Wednesday night will have exactly one game: The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are kicking things off with a contest on Netflix.
But then, Thursday, March 26 is Opening Day for a bunch of teams -- 22 to be exact. Friday, March 27 will give us the rest of the teams who didn't play Thursday.
Got all that? Let's review.
