When Will New York Yankees Opening Day Be Held For MLB 2022 Season? Who Will They Play?

MLB is finally back! And back how!! The League has announced that most teams will have their opening day on April 7th, 2022, with the balance having their opening day on April 8th. With 16 teams set to play to start out the season, the season’s grudge matches will set the ball rolling. Let the Bronx prepare for some noise because the juggernauts are set to clash. It’s the New York Yankees versus the Boston Red Sox on opening day.

Few rivalries in MLB are as clear and open as the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. While many of the rivalries have ebbed and flowed, this one seems to have seen the test of time. Beginning all the way back in the 1920s with the trade of Babe Ruth and the curse of the Bambino, to 2022, when the Red Sox knocked out the Yankees in the wild card game. And the 7th of April is set to see another mouth-watering contest set up.

How will the New York Yankees line up?

While fans are now hyped to see the two clash, what will also be fun to see is how the teams shape up. With the Yankees reportedly in pursuit of free agents Carlos Correa and Freddie Freeman, could the Bronx be set to see some new additions?

While there are definite holes in the roster at shortstop, the Yankees have seemed to cool off in their pursuit of Correa with the 10-year commitment. But could the lifting of the lockout bring a change in their stance?

While the Boston Red Sox haven’t had too many links over the lockout, Seiya Suzuki looks set to make his way across the Pacific and into Fenway park in 2022. Where else could the Carmines be looking to strengthen before they get going in 2022?

The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox aren’t just franchises, they’re institutions, growing to have roots almost as deep as Major League Baseball in the country; the two cities share perhaps one of the most passionate fan bases in the entirety of Major League Baseball. And to see them line up against each other on the Opening Day is bound to be a celebration.

Especially amidst an extended lockout prior to the season, perhaps the anticipation now will reach a fever pitch. The Yankees finally have their Opening Day.
