The Braves will open the 2022 season on the road with a six-game trip against the Marlins and Mets. Opening day will be March 31 with a four-game series in Miami followed by a two-game set in New York.

It will mark the third time the Braves have opened against the Marlins, joining the 2015 and 2005 seasons. Both those series also were in south Florida. It will be the fourth consecutive season the Braves have started their campaign on the road.

The Braves will begin the home portion of their schedule April 7 to start a four-game series against the Reds. That series will be followed by three games against the Nationals. To end the season, the Braves will play 15 of their final 24 games on the road. They’ll end the year for the second consecutive year at home with a three-game set against the Mets, Sept. 30-Oct. 2.

The Braves play interleague series against the Red Sox, A’s, Angels, Astros, Rangers and Mariners. The Angels, featuring two-way star Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, will come to Atlanta on July 22-24. Trout has only played one series in Atlanta previously in his career. It will be Ohtani’s first series in Atlanta. The Braves also will return to Arlington, Texas, where they played the 2020 National League Championship Series against the Dodgers, for a three-game series against the Rangers beginning April 29.

It will be the fourth time in five years the Braves face the Red Sox. They’ll host Boston for two games May 10-11 and go to Fenway Park on Aug. 9-10. The Braves will travel to Seattle for the first time since 2014 on Sept. 9-11. The Braves were slated to visit the Pacific Northwest in 2020 before the pandemic altered the MLB schedule.

Also similar to the scrapped 2020 schedule, the Braves will travel to the West Coast early. Their second road trip in April will be to Los Angeles and San Diego. They’ll also complete their Arizona and Colorado trips in late May/early June. The Braves have a three-city western trip later in the season, when they’ll spent Sept. 6-14 in Oakland, Seattle and San Francisco. Their only other three-city trip begins the first week of August, when the Braves go to New York (Mets), Boston and Miami.

The Braves will finish the season with a 16-game stretch against National League East opponents, including seven contests against the Phillies.

A finalized schedule with complete start times will be released later.
