ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The Braves have announced their 2026 regular season schedule and they will open at home for the first time since 2022.
The team will open the season against the Kansas City Royals on March 26. A series against the Athletics will follow before a West Coast road trip.
The Braves will finally host an NL opponent when the Miami Marlins visit Atlanta on April 13. That series will kick off 13 straight games against NL East opponents. A similar 10-game stretch will close July and open August; those games will be crucial for any division hopes the 2026 Braves will have.
They’ll also end the season against the Marlins in Miami on Sept. 27.
The Mets will come to Atlanta for July 4 weekend, which will also be the final Braves home games before the All-Star break.
The longest home stand of the season will be a seven-game stretch against the Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres to open the second half of the season. The longest road trip will be a nine-game West Coast journey against the Colorado Rockies, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers from May 1 to 10.
The Braves will later host the Dodgers from Aug. 25 to 27.
