The 2025 season isn’t over yet, but Yankees fans can already start planning for next season after MLB released the 2026 schedule on Tuesday.

Perhaps the biggest occasion on the Yankees’ schedule is a Sept. 11 contest with the Mets at Yankee Stadium. The matchup, which will open a three-game series, takes place on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

“It will be quite emotional for a lot of people,” Aaron Boone said, though he noted some of his players are not old enough to remember the attacks. “I would imagine you’ll see a lot of that emotion in the building, in the crowd, in the pregame ceremonies and introductions. You always hope as a ballplayer or as a team — as an industry — that you go out and represent such a meaningful day in a positive way.”

The Yankees and Mets also played each other on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 in 2021. That game was played in front of a packed crowd at Citi Field.

“I recall it well,” Boone said, adding that current Yankees coach Luis Rojas was the Mets’ manager at the time. “Both teams went out, and I remember the evening pretty well. I don’t know if electric’s the right word, but there was a palpable energy in the stadium.”

With the 9/11 matchup more than a year away, another highlight on the Yankees’ 2026 schedule is a season-opening road trip to San Francisco and Seattle. The Yankees and Giants will actually kick off the 2026 season when they play on March 25. The rest of the league will begin play the next day.

There are also back-to-back series in Chicago against the White Sox and Cubs from July 27-Aug. 2 that will overlap with the trade deadline; trips to National League cities Washington, Milwaukee, San Diego and Arizona; and a six-game homestand against the division rival Rays and Orioles to close the season.

The Yankees will first play the Red Sox in Boston from April 21-23, while the first Subway Series will take place in Queens from May 15-17.
