2020 Atlanta Braves regular season schedule

The Atlanta Braves have released their regular season schedule for the 2020 season.

Whereas the 2019 season started with the Braves clashing against the division-rival Phillies, the 2020 season starts with a little less flair. The Braves’ season will begin on a road trip out west where they will match up against the Diamondback and Padres. Oddly, the Braves will play the Diamondbacks and Padres twice in March and April and thus be done with their season series against those teams before they’ve even played a game against the Phillies or Nationals. The 2020 schedule ends on an equally odd note with the Braves wrapping up the season in interleague play against the Astros.

Speaking of interleague play, the Braves will play against the Red Sox, Mariners, Rangers, Angels, A’s, and the aforementioned Astros in 2020.

A few interesting things of note about the schedule:

• The Braves do not play against the Nationals until June 9.
• Mike Trout and the Angels will be playing in Atlanta over the July 4th weekend. Get your tickets as soon as possible to see the greatest player in baseball play against Mike Trout. (Ok, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but Acuña is on his way.)
• June could be a pivotal month for the Braves, having to play the Dodgers, Phillies, and Nationals in two series each, as well as the Red Sox in one series.
• Home and away games are pretty evenly distributed throughout the 2020 season. The Braves play 48 away games and 49 home games before the all-star break and 33 away games and 32 home games after the break.
