New York Yankees Schedule 2026

Full Season Overview

The Yankees’ 2026 campaign begins on the road, with three games at Seattle starting March 30. From there, the team heads home for its first homestand at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The official printable schedule in PDF format is now available from the team site, though MLB.com notes that all dates, times, and opponents are subject to change before the season locks in (MLB.com Yankees Printable PDF).

Early home action features a pair of three-game sets: Miami arrives for the first homestand from April 3-5, followed by Oakland on April 7-9 (YES Network). The first major special event comes on Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, when the Yankees host Los Angeles-AL.

Key Dates and Opponents

Four holiday or commemorative dates anchor the home schedule: Jackie Robinson Day (April 15), Lou Gehrig Day (June 2), Father’s Day (June 21 against Cincinnati at 1:35pm), and Independence Day (July 4 against Minnesota) (YES Network). The CBS Sports schedule shows that Boston visits twice, with the August 29 game getting a FOX broadcast slot at 7:15pm (CBS Sports).

The most sustained stretch at home comes in August with back-to-back nine-game homestands: August 3-13 (St. Louis, Atlanta, Seattle) and August 21-30 (Toronto, Houston, Boston) (YES Network). The contrast is sharp—the longest road trip spans 10 games from July 24-August 2, hitting Philadelphia, Chicago-AL, and Chicago-NL back-to-back-to-back (YES Network).

Yankees Home Schedule 2026

Home Opener

The Yankees’ home opener lands on Friday, April 1, against Miami. This marks the first chance for Bronx fans to see the full roster in action at Yankee Stadium after the season’s three-game Seattle road trip. ESPN’s 2026 first-half schedule confirms the April 1 date, with first pitch expected at 1:05pm or 7:05pm depending on whether the game lands as a day or evening contest (ESPN 2026 schedule listing).

Key Home Series

Three series stand out on the 2026 home calendar. The Boston Red Sox visits twice—June 5-7 and August 28-30—offering the rival matchup that draws the season’s loudest crowds. The Subway Series against the Mets on September 11 is the priciest single ticket on the schedule, with SeatGeek showing $118.50 as the starting price (CBS Sports). And the August homestand that runs August 21-30 (Toronto, Houston, Boston) packs nine games into 10 days, meaning the Stadium sees baseball every night for over a week straight.

The pattern across sources is consistent: the Yankees play 81 home games at Yankee Stadium, with the homestand structure clustering three to nine series together between road trips. Two nine-game stretches in August bookend the summer, with the longest road trip (10 games in late July) cutting through three cities without a home date for 12 days.
