CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox have announced their 2018 regular-season schedule, with Opening Day on Friday, March 29 at Kansas City (3:15 p.m. CT). The season opener is part of a three-game series (with an off day on March 30) against the division-rival Royals. The Sox open the season against an American League Central opponent for the 14th time in the last 16 seasons.
Following a three-game series in Toronto from April 2-4, the White Sox celebrate their home opener at Guaranteed Rate Field on Thursday, April 5 vs. Detroit. After an off day on Friday, April 6, the Sox conclude their three-game series with the Tigers (April 7-8) before playing host to Tampa Bay from April 9-11 to end the first homestand of the season.
