The orioles schedule is already taking shape for the 2027 Major League Baseball season, giving Baltimore fans plenty to look forward to after the club completed its 2026 campaign. The Orioles officially released their 2027 regular-season schedule on July 16, 2026, with Baltimore set to open against the Tampa Bay Rays on March 25 before returning home to face the Toronto Blue Jays.
Because the date is now October 7, 2026, the 2026 regular season is over. That makes the newly announced 2027 schedule the most useful version for fans planning ahead, while the completed 2026 schedule provides important context about how Baltimore’s season unfolded. The Orioles finished 79-82 and fourth in the American League East, according to Baseball-Reference.
Here is a detailed look at the upcoming schedule, the biggest series, Baltimore’s road trips, holiday dates, and what happened during the final stretch of the 2026 season.
When Does the 2027 Orioles Season Begin?
Baltimore’s 2027 regular season begins on Thursday, March 25, against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The Orioles are scheduled to play three games in St. Petersburg from March 25 through March 27. After an off day on March 28, Baltimore returns to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for its home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, March 29.
The Toronto series continues with games scheduled for March 31 and April 1. Baltimore then welcomes the Detroit Tigers for a three-game weekend series beginning April 2. The opening portion of the season therefore gives fans a mixture of division competition, a home-opening celebration, and an early visit from an American League Central opponent.
The official MLB schedule currently shows the opening-game start times as yet to be determined, so fans should check the team’s official schedule as dates get closer. MLB and the Orioles also caution that opponents, dates, and times can change.
How the Orioles’ 2027 Schedule Is Organized
The 2027 calendar follows the modern MLB scheduling format, with Baltimore facing every American League East opponent in multiple series throughout the season. The Orioles are scheduled to play 13 games against each of their four division rivals: the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays.
The home-and-road balance differs slightly by opponent. Baltimore will host seven games against the Yankees and Rays while playing six at home against Boston and Toronto. The schedule also includes six games against the Washington Nationals, continuing the regional rivalry known as the Battle of the Beltways.
This format creates several stretches where the Orioles will face familiar opponents repeatedly. For fans following the season closely, those division-heavy periods can be especially important because they place several games against direct American League East competition close together.
Key Orioles Home Series in 2027
One of the biggest attractions on the 2027 Orioles schedule is the number of recognizable opponents coming to Camden Yards.
The season’s early home calendar includes the Blue Jays and Tigers, followed by a visit from the Los Angeles Angels in April. Baltimore will also host the Miami Marlins from April 23-25, the St. Louis Cardinals from May 18-20, the Colorado Rockies from May 28-30, and the New York Mets from May 31 through June 2.
Later in the season, the Orioles will host Washington in mid-July immediately after the All-Star break. The Pittsburgh Pirates arrive August 6-8, while the Los Angeles Dodgers visit August 20-22. Baltimore’s final scheduled National League home opponent of the 2027 regular season is the Cincinnati Reds, with that series set for September 21-23.
The Dodgers series stands out because Los Angeles remains one of MLB’s most recognizable franchises, while the Mets and Nationals provide additional interleague matchups that should attract considerable interest at Camden Yards.
Orioles vs. Yankees in 2027
The New York Yankees remain one of the most important opponents on any Orioles schedule because of the rivalry between the two American League East clubs.
Baltimore’s 2027 schedule includes multiple series against New York, with the Orioles hosting seven games against the Yankees and playing six games in the Bronx. Most notably, Baltimore is scheduled to finish the 2027 regular season with a three-game Yankees series from September 24-26.
Ending the regular season against a division rival creates an especially interesting late-season storyline. Depending on the standings, those games could have implications for playoff positioning, the AL East race, or postseason qualification.
Orioles vs. Washington Nationals
The Orioles and Nationals will meet six times during the 2027 regular season.
Baltimore travels to Washington from May 25-27, giving the Orioles three road games against their nearby rival. The Nationals then visit Camden Yards from July 16-18 for the second half of the season’s Battle of the Beltways matchups.
These games are geographically significant as well as competitive. Because the two clubs are located relatively close to one another, the series often receives attention from fans who follow both teams.
Major 2027 Orioles Road Trips
The 2027 schedule features three particularly demanding three-city road trips.
The first comes immediately before the All-Star break. Baltimore is scheduled to play 10 consecutive games while traveling through Boston from July 2-4, Detroit from July 5-8, and Tampa Bay from July 9-11.
Another demanding stretch arrives in August. Following an off day on August 9, Baltimore is scheduled to play nine games in nine days, visiting Houston from August 10-12, Atlanta from August 13-15, and the New York Yankees from August 16-18.
The third major three-city trip comes later in August and early September. The Orioles travel to Toronto from August 27-29, Boston from August 30 through September 2, and Minnesota from September 3-5 in a 10-game uninterrupted stretch.
These trips could test both pitching depth and roster flexibility, particularly because long stretches away from home can require managers to carefully balance workloads.
2027 Orioles Holiday Games
Holiday baseball is another useful feature for anyone planning around the Orioles schedule.
Baltimore is scheduled to host the Chicago White Sox on Mother’s Day, May 9. The Orioles will also host the New York Mets on Memorial Day, May 31, and the Tampa Bay Rays on Labor Day, September 6.
Holiday games can be attractive to families because they provide an opportunity to attend a regular-season MLB game while many people have the day off from work or school.
Monthly Breakdown of the Orioles Home Schedule
The Orioles’ 2027 home schedule is distributed across the season rather than being concentrated in just a few months.
Baltimore is scheduled to host 16 games in April, 14 in May, 14 in June, 11 in July, 12 in August, and 12 in September. The Orioles are also scheduled to host two games in March.
That totals 81 scheduled home games, matching the standard 162-game regular-season structure in which a team normally plays half of its games at home and half on the road.
The relatively large April home total should give local fans an early opportunity to see the team at Camden Yards, while the 12 scheduled September home games provide a solid closing portion of the home calendar.
What Happened on the 2026 Orioles Schedule?
Although the 2027 calendar is now the main schedule to watch, the 2026 Orioles season had several scheduling developments worth remembering.
Baltimore opened the 2026 season at home against the Minnesota Twins on March 26. The Orioles then hosted two additional games against Minnesota before beginning a road trip to Pittsburgh.
The club’s 2026 schedule placed a large portion of division competition later in the season. Baltimore played 13 consecutive games against AL East opponents from May 25 through June 7, while 12 of its final 22 scheduled games were against division rivals.
The final series of the year was supposed to take place in the Bronx against the Yankees from September 25-27. Weather changed that plan. The September 25 game was moved into a Friday doubleheader after the Saturday contest was postponed because of a forecasted nor’easter.
Then, on September 27, the scheduled season finale was canceled because of sustained inclement weather and was not rescheduled. Baltimore therefore finished the year with a 79-82 record rather than playing all 162 games.
How to Find the Latest Orioles Schedule
For the most reliable information, fans should use the official Baltimore Orioles and MLB schedule pages rather than relying solely on third-party calendars.
The Orioles maintain a printable schedule page that includes the 2027 regular-season schedule and spring-training information. The club also provides downloadable schedules, including full-season, home-game, and away-game CSV files.
The official schedule is particularly useful because game times and other details can change. A third-party website may continue displaying an older time even after MLB or the Orioles update the official listing.
Fans planning travel, purchasing tickets, or arranging time off should therefore confirm the game details shortly before the date they intend to attend.
What Fans Should Watch for on the 2027 Schedule
Several parts of the 2027 calendar deserve special attention. The home opener against Toronto gives Baltimore an early marquee event at Camden Yards, while the series against the Dodgers in August provides one of the more prominent interleague matchups at home. The Yankees closing series in September could also become a major late-season attraction.
The road schedule is just as notable. The nine-game trip through Houston, Atlanta, and New York in August is particularly demanding because the Orioles will face three different clubs without a scheduled off day during that stretch. The late-August trip through Toronto, Boston, and Minnesota creates another prolonged test before the final month.
At this stage, the schedule provides the dates and opponents, but a great deal will naturally depend on how the teams perform and how the rosters develop before the 2027 season begins.
Final Thoughts on the Orioles Schedule
The orioles schedule now offers fans two useful stories: the completed 2026 calendar provides a record of Baltimore’s most recent season, while the announced 2027 schedule gives supporters a clear framework for planning ahead.
The Orioles will begin 2027 on the road against Tampa Bay, play their home opener against Toronto on March 29, host a variety of American League and National League opponents, make several lengthy road trips, and finish the regular season with three games against the Yankees in New York from September 24-26.
Because MLB schedules remain subject to changes, the official Orioles schedule should remain the final reference for confirmed times and adjustments. For fans already planning their next trip to Camden Yards, however, the 2027 calendar provides plenty of dates to circle.
