Texas Rangers Opening Day opponent, full schedule revealed

 

The opener will mark the Rangers’ earliest Opening Day in franchise history.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have announced their 2025 schedule, including Opening Day, which they’ll host at Globe Life Field.

The Boston Red Sox will visit Arlington to get the slate started on Thursday, March 27. The opener will mark the Rangers’ earliest Opening Day in franchise history. Texas has played its first regular season game on March 28 twice, in 2019 and 2024, but never as early as March 27.

And the club has regularly opened the season at home; 2025 will be the 32nd time in the Rangers’ 54 seasons that they’ve started the year in Arlington.

Next year’s opener will also be a bit more unique for the Rangers. Instead of playing Thursday and then getting Friday off, Texas will play straight through the weekend in a four-game series against the Red Sox.

Check out the full schedule here below. Start times have not been announced yet.
