A Red Sox game day at Fenway Park is built around three things you can plan now, even in the offseason: a ballpark tour that runs all year, game tickets bought through the club's official ticketing route once your 2027 dates are set, and a hotel within walking distance.
Fenway Park, at 4 Jersey Street, has been home to the Boston Red Sox since it opened on April 20, 1912, and it is the oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball.
When does the 2027 Red Sox season start at Fenway Park?
Major League Baseball released the 2027 regular season schedule on July 16, 2026. Boston opens on the road on March 25, 2027, at Seattle, and the Fenway Park home opener is scheduled for April 1, 2027, against Cincinnati. The regular season is scheduled to end on September 26, 2027.
Circle two dates early. The Patriots' Day game is scheduled for Monday, April 19, 2027, closing a four game series against Cleveland, on Boston Marathon weekend. The New York Yankees visit Fenway for four games from June 4 to 7, 2027, and for three more from August 6 to 8, 2027. Those dates fill hotels early and are among the hardest tickets of the year.
Game times for many 2027 fixtures were listed as to be determined when the schedule was released, because broadcast windows are set later. Confirm the first pitch time on the club's official schedule closer to the trip. Single game on-sale dates and pricing are announced by the club in the offseason, so check the official Red Sox site before you buy.
Can you tour Fenway Park even when there is no game?
Yes, and for a first time or offseason visitor the tour is the anchor of the trip. Fenway Park Tours are the official year-round product, sold through the official tours page at mlb.com/redsox/ballpark/tours, with ticketing through mlb.tickets.com.
Prices verified on October 27, 2026, against the official tours page were as follows. The standard 60 minute public tour costs $30 for adults and $21 for children ages 3 to 12 and for military visitors. Fenway in Fifteen costs $20. Pregame and Premium tours cost $55. Prices can change, so confirm the current price for your date before booking.
Tours run daily, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 1 to October 31, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from November 1 to March 31. On game days, the last tour leaves three hours before game time, so a morning tour pairs well with an evening game. Our guide to Fenway Park covers the park layout and visitor basics.
How do you buy Red Sox game tickets for 2027?
Buy through the club's official ticketing route. Game tickets are sold through the Boston Red Sox official ticketing channels, which is the place to start for single game, group, and premium seating. Compare sections inside the official system first.
Fenway is one of the smallest parks in Major League Baseball, with a capacity under 38,000, and demand for weekend, Yankees, and summer dates is high. Sight lines vary more than in a modern stadium, because the park opened in 1912 and was rebuilt around an irregular city block.
Some grandstand seats sit behind support columns, so if a listing flags an obstructed view, take it seriously and check the seating chart for that section and row.
Pricing varies by date, opponent, and section, with fees on top. Use the official ticketing pages for the live price for your game, not a guide price. If your first choice sells out, be flexible on dates. A weekday game in May or September often has better availability than a summer weekend.
What should first timers look for inside Fenway Park?
Look left first. The Green Monster is the 37 foot 2 inch wall in left field, raised to its current height in 1934, with a hand operated scoreboard in its base.
It sits about 310 feet from home plate down the left field line, so balls that would be routine outs elsewhere can become doubles off the wall. Seats on top of the Monster, added in 2003, are among the most requested in the park.
In right field is Pesky's Pole, the foul pole only 302 feet from home plate, named for Johnny Pesky, the former Red Sox shortstop, coach, and broadcaster. That short distance is why a fly ball hugging the line can become a home run here. Together the two landmarks explain Fenway's shape.
The park was fitted to Lansdowne Street behind left field and Jersey Street in front, and its odd dimensions are the result. Arrive when gates open, walk the concourse once, and look for the retired numbers and the lone red seat in the bleachers before settling in.
How do you get to Fenway Park on game day?
Take the T. The MBTA's Fenway Park destination page advises that driving is not recommended because of traffic and parking restrictions in the neighborhood.
Kenmore station, served by the B, C, and D branches of the Green Line, is closest for most visitors, a short walk south to the park. Fenway station, on the D branch only, is also within walking distance.
Lansdowne station on the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail line sits right behind the park and is useful if you are based along that line, but check the timetable, because commuter rail runs less often than the Green Line.
The MBTA notes the last Green Line train leaves Kenmore Station at 12:40 a.m. Build in extra time both ways.
Where should you eat before a Red Sox game?
Eat on Lansdowne Street or Jersey Street to stay in the game day flow. Lansdowne Street runs behind the Green Monster and is lined with bars, music venues, and casual restaurants for fans before and after games. On Yankees and weekend dates, expect waits from late afternoon, so arrive early or reserve where reservations are taken.
Jersey Street, in front of the park, is the main fan approach, with souvenir shops, food vendors, and restaurants by the gates. For a quieter meal, walk toward Kenmore Square, Boylston Street, or the Back Bay. Be inside at least 30 minutes before the start, because screening and narrow concourses take time. Inside, budget for ballpark pricing.
Where should you stay near Fenway Park?
Stay within walking distance if Fenway is the reason for the trip. Hotel Commonwealth in Kenmore Square is the closest full service option, a short walk from Kenmore station and the park. You can check Hotel Commonwealth on Expedia for your dates. Rates vary and rise for big series.
The Verb Hotel, on Boylston Street about a block from the park, is a music themed boutique hotel built around a former motor hotel layout, with a courtyard pool open year round. You can check The Verb Hotel on Expedia for availability. Book early for Patriots' Day and the Yankees series.
If the area sells out, a hotel near any B, C, or D branch station still gives you a direct ride to Kenmore.
