While the Minnesota Twins have all but punted on the rest of the 2025 regular season, hope springs eternal for 2026. Yes, we still have to deal with the Pohlads pulling the purse strings this offseason. However, the team gets a fresh slate next year.
We were recently told that Minnesota will play host to the Philadelphia Phillies for the Field of Dreams game down in Dyersville, Iowa. Now we know what the rest of the schedule looks like as well.
Breaking down the 2026 MN Twins schedule
The Minnesota Twins open their 2026 regular season on the road. They’ll take on the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on March 26th. They last started their season in Baltimore during the 2018 campaign. A March 26th start date is also one day earlier than that of the 2025 season. The Yankees host San Francisco on March 25th, making it the earliest domestic Opening Day in Major League Baseball history.
Minnesota’s initial road trip lasts eight days and six games. They’ll be the road opponent for Kansas City’s Opening Day as well. The Royals start their season with a three-game series in Atlanta.
Every major league team plays one another at this point, but the destinations switch yearly. This season the Minnesota Twins National League opponents coming to Target Field include Cincinnati (April 17-19), Miami (May 12-14), Milwaukee (May 15-17), St. Louis (June 12-14), Los Angeles (June 22-24), Colorado (June 26-28), and Philadelphia (August 14-16).
One of the Phillies games will be played at the Field of Dreams stadium in Dyersville, Iowa. A best guess would be Sunday Night Baseball on August 16th. However, The Athletic’s Dan Hayes notes that MLB has set a precedent for how they could handle the contest.
The Twins will host likely AL Central winning Detroit early on next season (April 6-9). The month of may includes 12 games against likely bottom feeders in the form of Washington, the Marlins, White Sox, and Pirates.
Major League Baseball’s All-Star Break, ticketed for Philadelphia, will take place from July 13-16. The Twins season concludes with a game against the Texas Rangers on September 27th.
Of course seeing the Dodgers, and Shohei Ohtani, at Target Field should make for big ticket sales in June. Intriguing road trips for fans to make include series against Pittsburgh (May 29-30), Arizona (June 19-21), and San Diego (August 21-23).
Hopefully the franchise can work on turning a corner over the offseason and the 2026 Minnesota Twins season is much more fruitful than the current iteration.
