ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas Rangers are set to kick off their 2025 season today, March 27, with an exciting Opening Day matchup against the Boston Red Sox at Globe Life Field. The game is scheduled to start at 3:05 p.m. CT, and fans are buzzing with anticipation as they prepare to cheer on their team.
After a long, baseball-less winter, the Rangers are ready to take the field once again. Manager Bruce Bochy, who has led four teams to the World Series, including the Rangers in 2023, expressed his excitement for the day. “I’m think about it now. But uh, it’s when you get up that morning and that’s when you know you’ll feel the buzz and you know walk in the ballpark. It’s a special day. It’s one of the best days in baseball,” Bochy said.
Rob Matwick, the Executive VP of Rangers' Public Affairs, announced that the gates of Globe Life Field will open at noon, allowing fans to catch batting practice before the first pitch. Parking lots will open at 10 a.m., and the Rangers encourage fans to arrive early to soak in the atmosphere.
