All right, White Sox fans, grab a pen and brace yourselves: Major League Baseball just dropped the 2027 schedule. Opening Day is set for a Wednesday night, March 24, with an exclusive Netflix game, though nobody knows who’s actually playing. It will be the earliest Opening Day in MLB history. The rest of the league gets going the next day, March 25. Of course, with a lockout looming, don’t bet the house on baseball actually happening that night, but hey, dream big.

Opening on the road in Detroit

Opening Day is scheduled for Thursday, March 25, 2027, in Detroit, where the White Sox will start the 2027 season against the Tigers. The South Siders last opened a season in Motown on April 8, 2022. Chicago lost 5-4 when closer Liam Hendricks blew the save in the ninth. Good times.

Funny enough, that 2022 opener was supposed to be at home against Minnesota, but a lockout shuffled the deck and sent the Sox to Detroit instead. Sound familiar?

Opening at home vs. Milwaukee

The Good Guys will head back to Chicago for their home opener at Rate Field on Thursday, April 1, against the Brewers. The last time the White Sox hosted the Brewers on Opening Day was April 9, 1990, at Old Comiskey Park. It was the final Opening Day ever played there before the wrecking ball took the old girl down. The South Siders won 2-1 in front of a crowd of 40,008 with Bobby Thigpen getting the first of his eventual record-setting 57 saves that season.

Crosstown Series vs. Cubs

The 2027 Crosstown Series against the Chicago Cubs includes two sets: the White Sox will visit Wrigley Field from Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18, before hosting the Cubs at Rate Field from Friday, August 6 through Sunday, August 8. The Cubs currently hold a slim edge, 77-75, in the Crosstown Classic since interleague play began in 1997. Fortunately, three games remain this season, so bragging rights are still up for grabs.

Interleague play means 16 three-game sets for the Sox, half at home, half on the road. Here’s the rundown:

Milwaukee Brewers (April 1, 3-4), San Francisco Giants (April 16-18), St. Louis Cardinals (May 3-5), Miami Marlins (May 14-16), Philadelphia Phillies (June 7-9), Arizona Diamondbacks (July 9-11), Chicago Cubs (August 6-8), and San Diego Padres (September 24-26).

Los Angeles Dodgers (April 26-28), Pittsburgh Pirates (May 21-23), Cincinnati Reds (June 29-30, July 1), Chicago Cubs (July 16-18), Colorado Rockies (August 13-15), New York Mets (August 27-29), Atlanta Braves (September 10-12), and Washington Nationals (September 17-19).

Memorial Day brings the Tampa Bay Rays to Chicago on May 31. For Independence Day, the Sox head to Texas to tangle with the Rangers on July 4.

The regular season wraps up with a three-game home series against the San Diego Padres from September 24-26.
