When Is Detroit Tigers Opening Day?

This upcoming season's first home game for the Detroit Tigers is set for Thursday, March 27th, 2025 with back-to-back three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners.

However, the first home opening day will be on April 4th, 2025 against the White Sox, which is the kickoff to the 25th Anniversary of Comerica Park.

The first pitch for the home opener is set for 1:10 PM, but die-hard fans know that Opening Day festivities start long before that.

Opening Day Traditions

While this may be a given, opening day is a fashion show full of a sea of orange and navy for miles. Whether you have your favorite Tigers jersey or are upgrading with face paint, do not be surprised when the Tigers' pride is on display.

Do not get caught being the only one who is not wearing any orange and navy.

Opening Day is more than the first game. It is also the perfect day to honor the history of the team. From different alumni appearances to special tributes, and more, opening day is the best day to educate yourself on the Detroit Tigers.

As with any other sporting event, there are tailgating, food, and drinks EVERYWHERE! The celebration may be in Comerica Park, however, there is so much going on at the local businesses around the stadium.

If you are decked out in Tigers' gear, I would not be surprised if you ended up getting a sweet deal.

How To Celebrate The Detroit Tigers

There are plenty of ways to celebrate your new (or tried and true) love for the Detroit Tigers.

First, grab your tickets as soon as possible! Tickets are always selling out fast, especially for opening day. If you do not have one yet, you can find tickets on the MLB website or any resellers' websites.

If buying a ticket is not the vibe for you or the downtown traffic makes your skin crawl, there are plenty of bars and pubs across Michigan that will be hosting game-day specials with the live game.

Lastly, whether you are in Comerica Park, at a local bar, or home on your couch watching the game, you should always wear Tigers' gear!
