The Philadelphia Phillies' 2026 MLB regular season schedule was released on Tuesday and there are some quirks fans will want to keep in mind when thinking about next summer's plans. The schedule also features a nightmare stretch for the Phillies thanks to a couple of unavoidable events happening in Philadelphia next summer.
We all know by now that the Phillies are hosting the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park.
