The White Sox have released their 2026 schedule. The 162-game slate begins with interleague play in Milwaukee and features more than 8,000 miles of travel in the first month alone. Here’s a breakdown of what’s ahead for the South Siders.
April

After a three-game set in Miami, the team returns to Chicago for its home opener on April 2 against the Blue Jays. The six-game homestand continues with the Orioles (April 6–8).
The Sox then head to Kansas City for their first divisional matchup against the Royals before coming back to host Tampa Bay (April 14–16). From there, it’s a West Coast swing with three games in West Sacramento against the Athletics, followed by a trip to Arizona to face the Diamondbacks.
The month closes at Rate Field with six home games, hosting the Nationals and Angels (April 24–29).

Travel ramps up in May with two trips to the West Coast. The month begins in San Diego before moving up the coast to face the Angels.
The Sox then settle in for a nine-game homestand highlighted by a crosstown series with the Cubs (May 15–17). The stretch begins with three games each against the Mariners and Royals, then finishes with the Cubs’ visit to 35th and Shields.
