About
The Yankees host the Washington Nationals for a 3-game weekend series at Yankee Stadium, –. An interleague weekend in the season's first full home month.
Early-season Bronx weekends are the cheapest way to sit close, and the Nationals are a once-every-few-years interleague visitor. April crowds are lighter, so the concourses and the Monument Park queue are manageable. Layer up — evening games in mid-April run cold. Monument Park and the Yankees Museum open with the gates, so arriving early pays off.
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 Yankee Stadium's food concourses.

Common questions
Are these dates final?
They come from the released 2027 MLB schedule (Fri Apr 16 – Sun Apr 18, 2027 at Yankee Stadium). Dates almost never change once published; only first-pitch times are still to be set.
Is April too cold for a night game?
Often yes for the Friday night; the Saturday and Sunday games are usually afternoon starts and far more comfortable.
