Cleveland Guardians Single-Game Tickets Go On Sale on 216 Day, With Plenty to Watch in 2026
Cleveland baseball fans, mark your calendars-216 Day just got a little more exciting. As of 10 a.m.
ET today, single-game tickets for the Guardians' 2026 season are officially on sale. That means it's time to start circling dates, planning ballpark trips, and dreaming about warm nights at Progressive Field.
The Guardians are coming off back-to-back AL Central titles, and while Opening Day tends to steal the spotlight, this season offers plenty of matchups worth watching. From divisional showdowns to key interleague battles, the 2026 schedule sets up as a crucial campaign for a team looking to make it three straight atop the division.
Let’s start with the big one: Opening Day at home is set for Friday, April 3, against the Chicago Cubs. It’s always the hottest ticket of the year-and for good reason.
There’s nothing quite like that first game back in the ballpark, when every team is 0-0 and the possibilities feel endless. According to team officials, tickets for the opener start as low as $45, but don’t expect them to last long.
Before the Guardians get to their home opener, they’ll hit the road for a tough six-game stretch to open the season, traveling west to face the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s no soft landing to start the year, and it could serve as an early litmus test for where this team stands in the American League hierarchy.
Once back in Cleveland, the Guardians will host the Cubs and then jump right into divisional play with a series against the Kansas City Royals. That early stretch could carry weight-momentum gained or lost in April can echo into the summer.
One series that’s sure to stir some emotion? June 12-14, when the Detroit Tigers come to town.
The Guardians staged a dramatic rally to edge Detroit for the division crown last year, only to fall to the Tigers in the AL Wild Card series. Expect a little extra edge in the air when these two teams meet again at Progressive Field.
The regular season home slate wraps up in September, with matchups against the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics from Sept. 16-22. From there, the Guardians hope to be punching their ticket to October baseball once again.
But it’s not just the schedule that has fans buzzing-there’s new talent to watch, too.
Chase DeLauter, the highly touted outfield prospect, made his MLB debut during last year’s postseason run. Now, fans will get a full season to see what he can do. His development could be a major storyline in 2026, especially as the Guardians look to inject more power and athleticism into their lineup.
Another name to keep an eye on is Travis Bazzana, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. After injuries delayed his debut last season, the dynamic infielder is expected to make his first big-league appearance in 2026. If healthy, Bazzana could bring a spark to the infield and add another layer of intrigue to an already deep roster.
So whether you’re eyeing Opening Day, plotting out a summer weekend series, or hoping to catch a glimpse of the next wave of Guardians stars, today’s the day to start making plans. Single-game tickets are available now at CLEGUARDIANS.com, and with expectations high once again, this season is shaping up to be another memorable ride in Cleveland.
