Major League Baseball today released the regular-season schedule for 2026. Notably, the Brewers will start the regular season earlier than they ever have before—March 26th—and they’ll do so at American Family Field, where they’ll host the White Sox for their first Opening Day at home since 2021.
Next season’s All-Star break comes the week of July 12, with the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday, July 14th in Philadelphia. Some other notable quirks of the schedule:
- If things are tight in the division, it will be an exciting September. The Brewers’ September lines up like so: a road trip against the Cubs and Reds, a homestand against the Cubs and Reds, a road trip to Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and the last series of the season at home versus the Cardinals.
- The Brewers don’t play a National League opponent until their fifth series of the season, when they host the Washington Nationals (they open at home against the White Sox and Rays, and their first road trip goes to Kansas City and Boston).
- They don’t play a National League Central opponent until two weeks later than that, when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the last weekend of April.
- Milwaukee’s first series with the Cubs is May 18-20 at Wrigley Field. They don’t play a home series with the Cubs until the last weekend in June.
- Milwaukee will play the Athletics not in Sacramento but in Las Vegas, at the home of the Las Vegas Aviators, the As’ Triple-A team.
