After a disappointing end to the season during Game 7 of the American League Championship last year, the Seattle Mariners will once again make a run at their first World Series entry as they enter their 50th season this week.
Opening Day
The Mariners kick off the 2026 season at home against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, March 26 at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m., with pregame ceremonies beginning at 6:30.
If you’re among the first 35,000 fans through the gates, you’ll receive a special magnetic schedule courtesy of Starbucks—a perfect keepsake to start the season.
There are more home games continuing all weekend, from Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29. See the full 2026 game schedule on the MLB website.
The Mariners are bringing fresh flavors and fun presentation to the ballpark in 2026. One standout addition: a souvenir food container modeled after Washington State Ferries boats.
For an extra $8, fans can upgrade snacks like nachos, fries, and chicken tenders into this collectible ferry vessel—equal parts meal and memorabilia. Read all about the reason behind these souvenir ferries and how to get one.
Catching a game doesn’t have to break the bank. The Mariners’ expanded Value Menu introduces 15 new food options and affordable beer choices at every home game.
Fans can find snacks starting at just $3, including bites from Ivar’s, Ballard Pizza, and Tamari Bar. There are also 15 value beer options priced between $5 and $8, including craft and nonalcoholic selections. Read more here!
On the ticket side, keep an eye out for 27 designated “value games,” where seats start at under $12 (fees included).
