🚨 OPENING DAY SHOWDOWN: Yankees Face Off Against Marlins in Home Opener — What You NEED to Know About This High-Stakes Game! 👇 Yankees’ Home Opener: The Exciting Matchup Against the Marlins — Key Details and What Fans Can Expect on This Big Day.

The New York Yankees will look to continue their fast start to the 2026 season when they take on the Miami Marlins in their home opener on Friday at Yankee Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The game will be aired on television on the Yes Network, streamed on the Gotham Sports app, and broadcast on radio on WFAN 660 AM and 101.9 FM.

Yankees-Marlins all-time head-to-head results

Though the Marlins are not a traditional power, they hold one unique distinction in the annals of Major League Baseball. They are the only team in league history with a winning record against the Yankees, going 25-24, including the postseason, since interleague play started in 1997. That also includes Miami’s six-game win over New York in the 2003 World Series.

The Yankees on Friday will hand the ball to Will Warren, who allowed one run and five hits over 4 1/3 innings in New York’s 3-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander threw 54 of his 83 pitches for strikes.

The Marlins will counter with righty Eury Perez, who allowed three earned runs over seven innings, but did not get the decison in Miami’s 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies last Saturday.

Recap of the Yankees’ West Coast swing

The Yankees have come out of the starter’s gate 5-1, including winning two of three against the Seattle Mariners earlier this week.

Pitching has been the story as New York has allowed just six total runs in its six games. For those scoring at home, that amounts to a minuscule 1.01 ERA, and the Yankees are doing it on the mound without three of the regular starters — right-handers Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, and lefty Carlos Rodón, who are each working their way back from injury.

Dating to Monday night’s game, a 2-1 loss to Seattle, Yankees starters have not given up a run in 16 consecutive innings.

Offensively, two-time reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge is off to a slow start at the plate with just three hits and 11 strikeouts in his first 24 at-bats, but veteran designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has been among those picking up the slack, recording multiple hits in each of the five games he has played.

Home opener forecast

It will be mostly to partly cloudy with temperatures around 60 degrees for the first pitch.

As the game wraps up, we’ll keep that partly cloudy look, with readings pushing into the mid to upper 60s. Later this afternoon, highs should top out near 70 degrees, making it a decent day, overall.
