White Sox Reveal 2027 Schedule – Early Opening Day & More

Historic Opening Day Announcement

The 2027 campaign kicks off on a Wednesday night, March 24, with a Netflix‑exclusive showcase that will be the earliest Opening Day in MLB history. The rest of the league follows a day later on March 25, though a potential lockout casts a shadow over the early start. Fan excitement is high, but uncertainty lingers about whether the season will actually materialize.

The White Sox’ first official game will be played on the road in Detroit on March 25 against the Tigers. This marks the South Siders’ first season opener in Motown since April 8, 2022, when Chicago fell 5‑4 after a ninth‑inning blown save by Liam Hendricks. A similar disruption occurred in 2022, when a lockout forced the team from a planned home opener against Minnesota to the Motor City.

Home Opener Set for Rate Field

Returning to Chicago, the Sox open Rate Field on Thursday, April 1, hosting the Milwaukee Brewers. The last time the clubs met on Opening Day at the old Comiskey Park was April 9, 1990, a 2‑1 victory that featured a record‑setting 57‑save season for Bobby Thigpen. That historic crowd of 40,008 witnessed the start of Thigpen’s legendary reliever campaign.

Crosstown Showdown Two‑Part Series

The Cubs and White Sox will duke it out in a July dual‑series format. The Sox travel to Wrigley Field for Friday‑Sunday play from July 16‑18 before returning the favor with a home series at Rate Field August 6‑8. Since interleague play began in 1997, the Cubs lead the Crosstown Classic 77‑75, leaving three games still in play to shift the balance.
