About
The Mets host the Cincinnati Reds for a 4-game midweek series at Citi Field, –. The second home series of the year — a four-game weekday set.
This is the first ordinary home stand of the Mets' 2027 season, right after the opening-weekend hoopla, so Citi Field is still buzzing but tickets and lines are far easier. Four weekday games give the widest choice of seats. April in Flushing is chilly at night — the afternoon games are the comfortable picks. 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
4 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 (Mon Apr 5 – Thu Apr 8, 2027 at Citi Field). Dates almost never change once published; only first-pitch times are still to be set.
Is this cheaper than Opening Day?
Substantially — the opening series carries a premium; these Reds games are priced like normal April baseball.
