The Angels today announced their schedule for the 2014 regular season, which kicks off at Angel Stadium March 31 against division rival Seattle. A finalized 2014 schedule, complete with game times, will be released later in the year.
The Angels begin the 2014 campaign with a brief three-game homestand (March 31-April 2) against the Mariners before embarking on their first road trip to Houston (April 4-7) and Seattle (April 8 & 9). 2014 marks the 10th time the Angels and Mariners have squared off to open a season and first since 2006.

In 2014, the Angels play 20 Interleague games - 16 against the National League East and four games against the cross-town rival Dodgers. The 20 games will be played in eight series, four at the Big A and four on the road.
