The 2026 Boston Red Sox season is the upcoming 126th season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 115th season at Fenway Park. Alex Cora is expected to return for the sixth season of his second stint as the team's on-field manager. The team is scheduled to open the regular season in an away game against the Cincinnati Reds on March 26, and conclude with a home game against the Chicago Cubs on September 27.[2]

Offseason

At the conclusion of the 2025 season, the Red Sox had 11 players under contract for the 2026 season: Roman Anthony, Brayan Bello, Kristian Campbell, Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Crochet, Jarren Duran, Jordan Hicks, Ceddanne Rafaela, Patrick Sandoval, Garrett Whitlock, and Masataka Yoshida.[3] Four players had contract options and/or opt-outs, four players were eligible to become free agents, nine players were eligible for arbitration, and an additional 22 players were not yet eligible for arbitration due to their limited service time in MLB, and could therefore be retained by the team for the league-minimum salary or released.[3]

January–March 2026 Roster moves

January 6 The team signed free agent pitcher T.J. Sikkema to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, and further announced Osvaldo Berrios, Vinny Capra, Jason Delay, Alec Gamboa, Hobie Harris, and Devin Sweet as non-roster invitees to spring training. Boston also avoided arbitration with Kutter Crawford, signing him to a one year contract for $2.75 million. [26][27]
January 9 The team reached one-year agreements with their four remaining arbitration-eligible players (Triston Casas, Romy González, Tanner Houck, and Johan Oviedo), avoiding arbitration. [28]
January 21 The team signed pitcher Ranger Suárez to five-year, $150 million contract, and further announced that they traded infielder Tristan Gray to the Minnesota Twins for minor league catcher Nate Baez. [29][30]

The team also optioned Tsung-Che Cheng and Nick Sogard to minor league camp. [45][46]

Spring training

The team's equipment departed Fenway Park on February 2, colloquially known as "Truck Day", in preparation for their arrival in Fort Myers, Florida to begin Spring Training.[47]

The Red Sox' first spring training game will be an exhibition contest against the Northeastern Huskies at Fenway South, scheduled for February 20.[48] The team's Grapefruit League schedule will run from February 21 through March 24, and will include a game on March 3 against Puerto Rico as one of Puerto Rico's friendly preparation games ahead of the 2026 World Baseball Classic.[48]

2026 World Baseball Classic

The World Baseball Classic (WBC), an international baseball tournament held every three to six years, was scheduled to take place from March 5–March 17, 2026. Due to the dates for the World Baseball Classic coinciding with MLB's spring training schedule, the following Red Sox players did not take part in the full spring training schedule as confirmed WBC participants:[49][50]

Player Position National team
Wilyer Abreu Outfielder  Venezuela
Roman Anthony Outfielder  United States
Brayan Bello Pitcher  Dominican Republic
Willson Contreras Infielder  Venezuela
Jarren Duran Outfielder  Mexico
Nate Eaton Infielder  Great Britain
Jovani Morán Pitcher  Puerto Rico
Ceddanne Rafaela Utility  Netherlands
Ranger Suárez Pitcher  Venezuela
Greg Weissert Pitcher  Italy
Garrett Whitlock Pitcher  United States
Masataka Yoshida Outfielder  Japan

Notably, eight Red Sox players were rostered on teams which reached the semifinal round of the WBC,[51] and four players appeared in the final: Anthony and Whitlock for the United States, and Abreu and Contreras for Venezuela.[52] Abreu and Contreras were crowned champions of the tournament after Venezuela defeated the United States 3–2 in the final, and Anthony was subsequently named to the World Baseball Classic All-Tournament Team.[53]
