Major League Baseball has officially released the regular season schedule for 2026 and while the interest concerning particular opponents has waned a bit since everybody plays everybody nowadays (the American League and National League are more like conferences now than actual separate leagues), it’s still fun to look right at Opening Day to see whether or not it’ll be a home game for our beloved Atlanta Braves.
As fate would have it, the Braves will be hosting the Kansas City Royals on Opening Day next year on Thursday, March 26. This’ll be Atlanta’s first time playing host to Opening Day since they essentially earned the right after winning the 2021 World Series.
