About this countdown
The 2027 MLB season has its traditional Opening Day on Thursday, March 25, the earliest in league history, with 14 games. A single night game on Wednesday, March 24 starts the season a day earlier.
- The first day with all 30 teams playing is Saturday, March 27. The regular season ends on Sunday, September 26.
- The All-Star Game is on July 13 at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
- The league's labor agreement with the players runs out on December 1, 2026. If a lockout lasts into the spring, Opening Day can move, as it did in 2022.
