In case you’re missing seeing the Atlanta Braves in baseball action during the current All-Star break, not only do you have the rest of the second half to look forward to (and hopefully the Postseason as well), you now have the 2027 season to (hopefully, as well) look forward to as MLB has released the 2027 regular season schedule for all 30 clubs.Assuming none of these games get wiped out and the season actually starts on time, the Braves are currently scheduled to spend opening day in sunny Southern California as they’ll be taking on the Dodgers on Thursday, March 25, 2027. There will be an off day on Friday and then they’ll finish up the three-game series over the following weekend.After getting done with three games in Milwaukee, the Braves will finally return home and play their home opener on Friday, April 2 against the Houston Astros. I’d say that weather-wise, April should be fine for the Braves as they don’t have to travel to any of the cities that are usually susceptible to cold weather during April, with the only real risk being a trip to Washington to face the Nationals starting on April 13. Other than that, Milwaukee is likely going to be indoors-exclusive and they’ll be traveling to Miami, Tampa Bay and St. Louis during April so fortunately, the Braves likely won’t have to worry about dodging any snow flurries in another town.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNaturally, I always skim through the schedule and try to find the West Coast trips and I can already tell that they’ll probably be challenging based on both duration in one instance and timing in another instance. From June 7 through June 16, the Braves will travel to Colorado, Sacramento and then Phoenix to face the Rockies, A’s and Diamondbacks on a three-city trip out West. The next West Coast swing will be the final road trip of the season from September 14 through September 19, which is when the Braves will have to find a way to survive a trip to the nightmare factory known as Petco Park and Oracle Park as they’ll be visiting the Padres and Giants.Outside of that, it’s just your typical baseball schedule. Everybody’s going to play everybody at least once, the Braves will play every National League club at least twice and they’ll get very familiar with their NL East rivals over the course of the season. Ending the season with a six-game homestand against the Nationals and Marlins should certainly be fascinating as well if those teams continue to get better.So, looking at the schedule, which matchups are you already looking forward to? Are there any that you’re already dreading? Are you just hoping that we’ll be seeing baseball at any point next year considering what awaits the baseball world in the offseason? Let us know what you think!
