As Atlanta Braves fans look for silver linings in what remains of the 2025 season, they can also now begin to look forward to the 2026 season, as MLB has officially released the full schedule for next year.
In a entertaining video featuring recently retired fan favorite Jesse Chavez and everyone's favorite Aussie, Peter Moylan, the Braves broke down the schedule with the help of Chavez's hats.

Breaking down the Braves 2026 regular season schedule
The Braves will open the season on March 26 against the Royals at home, which will be the earliest the traditional season has started (excluding special series like the Tokyo Series) in MLB history, according to MLB. This will also be the first time the Braves will have Opening Day at home since 2022 and the first time Atlanta will have been scheduled to start the season at home since 2018.
The All-Star break will take place from July 13 through July 16, with the All-Star Game taking place in Philadelphia on July 14. The season will end on September 27 against the Marlins in Miami. The Braves will have July 4th at home, and Labor Day in Philadelphia, but do not play on Memorial Day.
The Braves will have three west coast trips in 2026, which is one fewer than last year, and will finish their last trip out west on June 28. The Braves do play on the road against one AL West team in September, but it's in Houston from September 18-20.
The Braves longest stretch without a day off will be immediately following the All-Star break, as they play 17 consecutive games from July 17 through August 2. Their longest stretch on the road is during their second west coast trip, where they play from May 1 through May 10 in Colorado, Seattle, and Los Angeles. They have no home stands longer than seven games.
