SPRINGDALE, Ark – Major League Baseball today announced the Northwest Arkansas Naturals 2027 regular season home schedule. All road games and game times will be announced at a later date.
Opening Day at Arvest Ballpark will be on Friday, April 2nd against the Arkansas Travelers (Seattle Mariners). For the first time since 2024, the Naturals will begin the season at home. They will host their in-state rivals for three games through Sunday, April 4th before embarking on their first road trip.
The regular season schedule for 2027 will span across six months and will consist of 69 home games and 69 road games. The aforementioned home opener is in early April while the regular season home finale will take place on Sunday, September 12th. Over half of the Naturals home games will be played over the weekend with the club hosting a total of 36 games on either a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
For the eighth time in the last nine seasons, the Naturals will end the regular season at home as they will host the Springfield Cardinals (St. Louis) in a six-game set, September 7th through September 12th.
In addition to the three-game series to start the season, the schedule includes 11 separate six-game homestands.
