As always, the Royals will kick off their season with an Opening Day game. This year, they’ll be taking on the Texas Rangers on April 7th at 3:10 pm. Make sure to get there early for all of the pregame festivities, including the first pitch and National Anthem.
While it’s still unknown who will be starting on the mound for the Royals, fans can expect a high-energy atmosphere as they cheer on their team for the first game of the season.

Chicago White Sox (July 22-24)
The Royals will host the Chicago White Sox for a three-game series in July. While the White Sox have been struggling in recent years, they’re still capable of putting up a fight, and this series could be a chance for the Royals to flex their muscles against an opponent.
Plus, it’s always fun to watch two teams from the middle of the country battle it out on the diamond.
Los Angeles Angels (August 26-28)
The Royals will take on the Los Angeles Angels for a three-game series at the end of August. While the Angels have struggled to find their footing in recent years, they still have one of the most exciting players in the league in Mike Trout.
Watching the Royals try to outmaneuver Trout and the rest of the Angels lineup should make for some great baseball.
Conclusion
With plenty of exciting matchups and a renewed sense of optimism, the Royals’ 2022 season is shaping up to be one of their best yet. Make sure to get your tickets early so you can be a part of all of the action.
