The Houston Astros are set to kick off their 2026 season with an Opening Day matchup against the Los Angeles Angels on March 26, 2026, at 3:10 p.m. CT at Daikin Park in Houston, TX.
Fans can expect an exciting day as the Astros finalize their 26-man Opening Day roster, which includes 13 pitchers and 13 position players. Notably, second baseman Jose Altuve will be making his 14th career Opening Day roster, while several players, including RHP Mike Burrows, will be making their first appearances on this significant day.
In addition to the game, the Astros will host an Opening Day Street Fest from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Fans must have a game ticket to enter the Street Fest, where they can enjoy various activities leading up to the game.
Ticket prices for the game start at $43 for standing room only and $75 for the upper level, making it accessible for many fans eager to witness the season opener.
However, the roster has seen some challenges, as RHP Zach Dezenzo has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right elbow sprain, and LHP Brandon Walter has been placed on the 60-day IL as he recovers from left elbow surgery.
All fans in attendance will receive a 2026 Schedule Magnet, adding to the excitement of the day.
The Astros are looking to build on their previous successes as they begin another season at home, aiming for a strong start against their division rivals.
As the day approaches, anticipation is growing among fans and players alike, with many eager to see how the team will perform in the new season.
