MLB Opening Day 2025: Seattle Mariners schedule, park rankings, priciest league tickets
The Seattle Mariners will host the Athletics at 7:10 p.m. PDT on March 27 at T-Mobile Park for their regular-season opener of Major League Baseball's 2025 season.
Mariners great Ichiro Suzuki is scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch. The national anthem will be performed by Seattle indie folk band The Head and the Heart, according to the MLB.
While Seattle won't open its regular season until later this month, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs got things rolling this week in Japan. The Dodgers defeated the Cubs in games Tuesday and Wednesday in Tokyo.

Where does T-Mobile Park rank among MLB stadiums?
Major League Baseball's stadium landscape looks dramatically different in 2025, with the Tampa Bay Rays (hurricane damage to Tropicana Field) and Athletics (en route to Vegas) temporarily moving into minor-league ballparks.
After their dome's roof was ripped off in October, the Rays will play 2025 home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the spring training facility of the rival New York Yankees. On the West Coast, the Athletics will play the next three seasons in Sacramento at Sutter Health Park – home of the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate – while awaiting their new stadium in Las Vegas, expected to open in 2028.
In addition to the new ballparks on the MLB circuit, two others underwent naming sponsor changes for the new season. The Houston Astros' home is now called Daikin Park after more than two decades as Minute Maid Park, while the Chicago White Sox dropped a word from Guaranteed Rate Field and now play at Rate Field.
Last year, eight USA TODAY Network reporters and editors ranked MLB's stadiums from 1-30. With two of those stadiums out of the picture for 2025 and the temporary homes yet to host a big-league game, here's a look at an updated 1-28:
