The White Sox announced their 2020 regular-season schedule Monday, featuring the earliest Opening Day — March 26 against the Royals at Guaranteed Rate Field — in franchise and major-league history.

All 30 teams are scheduled to play on March 26. Only international games have been played at earlier dates.

The Sox open the season against the Royals for the third straight season. The Sox will also take part in the Red Sox’ home opening series April 2-5 at Fenway Park.

The Sox will play host to the New York Yankees in MLB’s “Field of Dreams” game Aug. 13 in Dyersville, Iowa, at the site of the 1989 baseball movie “Field of Dreams.”

The annual Crosstown Series against the Cubs will be played in two-game sets: July 7-8 (Tuesday and Wednesday) at Guaranteed Rate Field and July 20-21 (Monday and Tuesday) at Wrigley Field.

Other 2020 Sox interleague series include: Colorado (April 28-29 at Coors Field; May 19-20 at Guaranteed Rate Field), San Francisco (May 8-10 at Oracle Park), San Diego (May 11-13 at Petco Park), Arizona (July 10-12 at Guaranteed Rate Field) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (September 8-10 at Guaranteed Rate Field). The White Sox will welcome the Dodgers for the fifth time in club history (they also visited in 2005, ‘09, ‘11 and ‘17), and the Rockies for the just the second time (2008). The Sox travel to San Diego for just the second time (2005).

The 2020 schedule is tentative and subject to change.
