Play ball! The Atlanta Braves open their 2026 season at Truist Park tonight, and for the first time since 2022, they get to do it at home.
Chris Sale will start against the Kansas City Royals, with first pitch at 7:15 p.m. Gates open at 5:15 p.m. The Braves Walk kicks off at 4 p.m. for fans who want to line the streets of The Battery and cheer the team as they arrive.
This is a milestone season. The Braves are celebrating 60 years in Atlanta, and there will be a special on-field presentation at 6:40 p.m. to mark the occasion. Every fan gets a magnetic schedule and rally towel. And if you're wondering about the new broadcast setup, the team just launched Braves.TV for $99.99 per season or $19.99 per month.
