When you’re planning a baseball road trip, it’s important to know what time the stadium’s gates open – especially if you’re the type of fan who wants to get into the park as soon as you’re able.

What you might not realize is that gate times across the big leagues vary significantly. Not only do gate times differ from team to team, but some teams have different gate times based on the day of the week and even the game’s start time.

Below is a directory of each MLB team’s gate times for the 2022 season. (It’s worth noting that at some parks, one or more gates will open slightly earlier for season ticket holders. Additionally, gate times can be different before Opening Day, doubleheaders, postseason games and games that have special pregame ceremonies.)

You’ll be able to get into Rogers Centre in Toronto 2 hours before first pitch on weekends.
