The Pirates are currently battling for a playoff spot in 2026, but the schedule for 2027 is already out.<\/p>\n
If the owners and players are able to avoid a work stoppage, the Pirates will open the 2027 season at PNC Park for the first time in over a decade and the earliest date in history, Thursday, March 25.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll welcome the Athletics for a three-game series March 25-27 before a rare Sunday off. That is followed by three games in Cincinnati before the Bucs return home for games against the Padres and Yankees early in the season.<\/p>\n
The Pirates haven\u2019t had a true Opening Day since 2016 when Francisco Liriano got the win for the Pirates in a 4-1 victory against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
Other notable schedule notes:<\/p>\n
Pirates will close the season on the road with 3 at the Mets and 3 at the Cardinals, which could be a playoff battle<\/p>\n
