The Chicago White Sox have officially announced their 2027 Spring Training schedule, following the earlier release of their regular season schedule in July. This announcement details the games that will lead into the regular season, providing fans with an early look at the team’s preparation for the upcoming campaign.
While the schedule does not feature many surprises, as it includes the same 14 opponents as previous years, it sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting spring. Specific game times and broadcast details have yet to be released, but the anticipation is already building among fans.
One notable change for the 2027 season is the earlier start date for Spring Training. This shift may come as a surprise to those accustomed to the traditional timeline of Cactus League games, especially with the looming possibility of a lockout following the White Sox's participation in the 2026 World Series. However, the best-case scenario sees pitchers and catchers reporting to Glendale around February 6, with the full roster expected to arrive by February 10.
Spring Training action will kick off approximately ten days later, starting with a matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch. The schedule includes just two games against the Chicago Cubs, with the first taking place in Mesa on February 23 and the second at Camelback on March 12. Additionally, the White Sox will have one split-squad day on February 21, where they will face the Guardians away and host the Reds.
As is customary, the team will have two days off during the Spring Training period, likely to serve as cut-down days, scheduled for March 2 and March 9. Fans can expect a grueling finish to the training schedule, as the team will play a total of 30 games without any breaks between March 10 and the Cactus League finale on March 21.
After Spring Training, the White Sox will have three days off before embarking on their season opener. They will kick off the 2027 regular season at Detroit, followed by a trip to Kansas City to conclude the month. As always, updates regarding game times and broadcast information will be provided as they become available from Major League Baseball and the White Sox.
