Major League Baseball has announced its full 2027 season schedule, confirming the earliest-ever Opening Day and revealing that Wrigley Field in Chicago will host that year's All-Star Game. The announcement, made on Thursday, comes despite continuing uncertainty over the league's labour situation, with the current collective bargaining agreement expiring and fears of a work stoppage disrupting the start of the season.

The news follows the conclusion of the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia, prompting attention to turn to next year's calendar. Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts has expressed confidence that Opening Day will go ahead as planned in 2027 and that a players' strike will be avoided before the season begins, though the full details of the revised schedule were not further specified in the available report.
