\"\"<\/a>Returning to their traditional day after the All-Star Game release, Major League Baseball released their tentative 2027 earlier this week, one which hopefully will not be impacted by a prolonged work stoppage.\u00a0 For the fifth year in a row, MLB is keeping with a balanced schedule, playing 52 games against division opponents, 64 games against non-division opponents in the same league, and 46 interleague games, with series against every team in the opposite league.\u00a0 With both Chicago teams heading into the second half in line for a postseason appearance for the first time since 2008 and the All-Star Game coming to Wrigley Field in July, the 2027 season looks like it could be an interesting one on both sides of town.\u00a0 So, for one day, at least, let\u2019s turn our attention to next summer for both teams.<\/p>\n

The White Sox open their season on the road in the Midwest on March 25, scheduled to be the earliest North American start in league history, facing the Tigers followed by a series against the Royals.\u00a0 They open up their home schedule against the Brewers on April 1.<\/p>\n

Aside from the Brewers, the interleague schedule sees the White Sox staying home to face the Marlins, Phillies, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and Padres, while travelling to see the Pirates, Reds, Dodgers, Braves, Mets, Rockies, and Nationals.\u00a0 The rivalry with their north side foes continues with a three-game weekend series at Wrigley Field coming out of the All-Star break in mid-July followed by three games at Rate Field the first weekend of August.<\/p>\n

The White Sox wrap up the 2027 season in September at home, with a final series against the Tigers before ending the year with three against the Padres.<\/p>\n

On the north side, the Cubs kick off their season at home against the Guardians and Cardinals before heading out on the road in early April.\u00a0\u00a0Aside from the Guardians, the Cubs will host the Mariners, Orioles, Red Sox, and Royals while travelling to battle the Angels, Twins, A\u2019s, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Tigers.<\/p>\n

The Cubs open September with eleven straight against their NL Central rivals, but finish the month, and the season, on the road to face the Phillies and the Mets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
