CLEVELAND — The Guardians ' 2026 home opener will be a sellout.
The Guardians have sold out their April 3 home opening game against the Chicago Cubs, the club announced March 11. It'll be the 33rd consecutive home opener since Progressive Field, formerly known as Jacobs Field, opened in 1994.
The Guardians open the 2026 regular season March 26 against the Mariners in Seattle. They'll then travel to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles before playing their first home game in Cleveland.
For the last several years, the Guardians have started their season on the West Coast while Progressive Field has been undergoing several phases of renovations , which in turn has given construction crews an extra week or two to finish up work.
This time, the club won't be contending with a total eclipse, as was the case in 2024 .
