Texas Rangers to Host Boston Red Sox in 2025 Season Opener at Globe Life Field on Thursday, March 27
The Texas Rangers will host the Boston Red Sox in the 2025 regular season opener at Globe Life Field on Thursday, March 27. The complete 2025 schedule was announced today by Major League Baseball.
The March 27 season opener will be the earliest in franchise history as the club has played its first regular season game on March 28 twice (2019 and 2024).
This will be the 32nd time in 54 seasons that the Rangers have opened at home, the third straight and the eighth occasion in the last ten years. It will mark the fourth time the Rangers have played the Red Sox on opening day winning in 1996 and 2011 and losing in 2006 with all three games played at The Ballpark in Arlington/Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Following the four-game Boston series, March 27-30, the Rangers begin their road schedule with three contests at Cincinnati, March 31-April 2. The club returns to Arlington for a three-game set with Tampa Bay, April 4-6. The first multi-series homestand of 2025 is an all-Los Angeles set with the Angels, April 15-17 and Dodgers, April 18-20.
In 2023 Major League Baseball introduced a balanced schedule for all 30 clubs for the first time since interleague play was introduced in 1997. As a result, the Rangers’ 2025 schedule will feature the following:
Division Games: 52 total games (26 at home and 26 on the road) against four A.L. West Division opponents. That will include 13 games each versus the Athletics, Houston, Los Angeles Angels, and Seattle. The Athletics will play their home games in Sacramento for the first time in 2025.
Intraleague Games: 62 total games (31 at home and 31 on the road) against the other ten American League teams. The Rangers will play seven games each against Boston and Kansas City and six games apiece versus Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay, and Toronto.
Interleague Games: 48 total games (24 games at home and 24 on the road) against the 15 National League teams. Texas will meet Arizona six times in a pair of home and home three-game series and the remaining 14 NL clubs three times each. The Rangers will host three-game series with the Atlanta Braves, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, and St. Louis Cardinals and play three-game road sets at Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington.
Texas closes the 2025 regular season with a three-game series in Cleveland, September 26-28.
Game times for the 2025 schedule will be announced at a later date.
