Major League Baseball released its 2023 schedule on Wednesday and the Detroit Tigers will open the season on March 30 at Tampa Bay.
After three games against the Rays, the Tigers will stay on the road with a three-game series against the Houston Astros before hosting the Boston Red Sox in the home opener on April 6 at Comerica Park.
Starting next season, MLB has implemented a balanced schedule, which includes two home and road series against each American League Central team, a home and road series against other AL teams and at least one home or road series against every National League team.
Under the balanced schedule, the Tigers will play all 29 teams, with the Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres among the eight NL teams that will visit Comerica Park. Detroit’s schedule also includes road interleague series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers.
The Tigers will be at home for a pair of holidays: Memorial Day on May 29 against the Texas Rangers and Independence Day on July 4 against the Oakland Athletics.
