About
The Mets host the Texas Rangers for a 3-game weekend series at Citi Field, –. An interleague weekend in late April.
A weekend series against an interleague visitor in the first pleasant stretch of spring weather. Weekend Mets games bring the full promo calendar and the liveliest crowds of April. Texas visits Queens only every few years. Flushing's Main Street, one stop away, is the best post-game food crawl in the city. Citi Field's food — Shake Shack, Pat LaFrieda steak sandwiches, Fuku — is the best in baseball, and the 7 train drops you at the gate.
What to expect
3 standard nine-inning games, roughly three hours each. Weekday games are typically evening starts; weekend games mix afternoon and evening. Expect the full in-stadium promo calendar and Citi Field's food concourses.

Common questions
Are these dates final?
They come from the released 2027 MLB schedule (Fri Apr 23 – Sun Apr 25, 2027 at Citi Field). Dates almost never change once published; only first-pitch times are still to be set.
Which game is best for families?
Sunday afternoon — kids-run-the-bases and giveaway days usually land there.
