The 97th All-Star Game will be at Chicago's Wrigley Field on July 13, and the Home Run Derby is set for July 12. Other key dates include Jackie Robinson Day (April 15), Memorial Day (May 31), Lou Gehrig Day (June 2), the Fourth of July, Labor Day (Sept. 6), and Roberto Clemente Day (Sept. 15).
The third-annual Rivalry Weekend takes place when the second half resumes July 15.
The regular season ends Sept. 26.
The looming labor dispute between MLB and the MLBPA could impact the 2027 campaign, as the current collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1. When the league and union last negotiated a new CBA in 2022, the season didn't start until April 7 due to a lockout.
