Brewers' Opening Day 2026: Schedule, Roster, and Key Details The Milwaukee Brewers will kick off the 2026 season on Thursday, March 26, with a matchup against the Chicago White Sox at American Family Field. The game is set for 1:10 p.m. CT, marking the start of a three-game series that will continue on March 28 and 29. The team, which reached the National League Championship Series in 2025, returns with a revamped pitching staff, a new third baseman, and several familiar faces, including the two-time National League Manager of the Year. The Brewers’ Opening Day schedule includes an off-day on Friday, March 27, a standard practice in Major League Baseball. This allows for flexibility in case of weather disruptions, ensuring any delayed Opening Day ceremonies can proceed the following day. While the stadium is equipped with a roof, the schedule remains unchanged, and weather conditions could impact the game. The National Weather Service forecasts a 30% chance of rain after 1 p.m., with temperatures expected to peak at 62 degrees and light winds. Fans are advised to prepare for potentially cloudy skies and a cooler high of 39 degrees on Friday, March 27. The pitching matchup features Jacob Misiorowski for the Brewers, a right-hander who made a strong debut in 2025 and earned an All-Star nod after just five starts. The White Sox will counter with Shane Smith, an all-star pitcher acquired from the Brewers in the late 2024 Rule 5 draft. While the Brewers’ decision to let Smith leave remains a topic of debate, the team maintains its status as having the best farm system in baseball. The Opening-Day roster includes a mix of veterans and prospects.#chicago_white_sox #american_family_field #milkaukee_brewers #jordan_love #jordan_stolz
