Opening Day has arrived. The Baltimore Orioles will take the field against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, with first pitch scheduled for 3:05 p.m. ET at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Both teams enter the 2026 campaign with a new manager. Baltimore is led by first-year skipper Craig Albernaz, while Minnesota brings back former bench coach Derek Shelton. Thursday also marks the Orioles’ regular-season debuts for right-handed sluggers Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward, who were acquired during the offseason.

Baltimore is looking to win its opener for the fourth consecutive year, while the Twins aim for their third Opening Day win in four years. Here is how to follow the game live:
