The Detroit Tigers will play 10 of their first 13 games on the road in the 2026 season, including Opening Day on March 26 vs. the San Diego Padres.
The Detroit Tigers released their schedule for the 2026 season on Tuesday, Aug. 26, and they begin with Opening Day on March 26 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The Tigers play their first six games on the road, facing the Padres for a three-game series (March 26-28) and the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series (March 30-April 1) at Chase Field.
The home opener at Comerica Park is scheduled for April 3 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Tigers haven't spent Opening Day at Comerica Park since 2022, opening up against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in 2023, the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in 2025 and the Padres at Petco Park in 2026.
After the Cardinals series, the Tigers return to the road for a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins (April 6-9) at Target Field, which means 10 of the first 13 games are on the road.
The 2026 All-Star Game will take place on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. For the Tigers, the unofficial first half ends at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, while the second half begins on the road against the Los Angeles Angels.
