Mets & Yankees 2026 Schedules Drop

While the 2025 season is hitting the stretch drive,  Major League Baseball quickly gave fans a glimpse at 2026 as the league wide schedule finally dropped on Tuesday afternoon. 


 

The Yankees will open the season on March 25 against the San Francisco Giants in the Bay Area. It will be the earliest regular season game on U.S. soil ever! Of course MLB has opened even earlier, including this year, when games were played internationally in Japan or Australia.  That won't be the case here. 

Of course there is lot to like about a Giants-Yankees match-up to kick things off. 1) It's Aaron Judge's return to his home city; 2) Two flagship franchises that once played across the East River from each other with the Giants, formally at the Polo Grounds, and the Yankees, of course, in the Bronx. 

Should be a fun one. 

The rest of the league opens up the next day on March 26. The Mets will host the Pittsburgh Pirates that day. 

The Yankees and Mets will have six games against one another, highlighted by a three-game series at Yankee Stadium in September to mark the 25th Anniversary of the 9-11 Terror Attacks. The last time the Subway Series was played this late in a season was just a few years ago in 2021 at Citi Field to mark the 20th Anniversary of the terror attacks. 

NOTES: 

The Mets will be done with road trips to Chicago (Cubs), L.A. (Dodgers), San Francisco and St. Louis before the end of April. That is quiet odd. The Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, and Cardinals are National League rivals for the Mets. Usually these games are packed into the heat of the summer. Not next season. Hence the world of the so-called balanced schedule where all 30 MLB squads are packed into one schedule. 

The Mets don't play a N.L. East series until the end of April when they host the Washington Nationals April 28-30. 

The Mets last West Coast trip will come June 1-7 against Seattle and San Diego. 

The Mets have two nine-game road trips: May 1-10 against the Angels, Rockies and D-Backs, and August 4-12 against the Guardians, Pirates and Braves. 

The Mets longest home stand is 10-games at the end of July into August against the Dodgers, Braves and Marlins. 

The Yankees have a 10-game road trip July 24-August 2 that takes them to Philadelphia and Chicago to face the Phillies, Cubs and White Sox. 


 

The Yankees have two nine-game road trips: April 21-29 against Boston, Houston and Texas. The second nine-game trip is May 8-17 against the Brewers, Orioles and Mets. 

Yankees home opener is Friday, April 3 against the Miami Marlins. 

The Yanks have a nine-game home-stand at the end of August against Toronto, Houston and Boston.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
