Today is the Home Opener for the Royals! Here’s everything you need to know
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Kansas City Royals opened their 2026 campaign in Atlanta over the weekend, and they are back in town for Monday’s home opener.
The Royals are looking to improve on an 82-80 record in 2025 that saw them fall short of the playoffs the year after advancing to the American League Division Series.
They have one of the league’s most exciting players in All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., an emerging star in All-Star third baseman Maikel Garcia, a popular veteran catcher in Salvador Perez and plenty of starting pitchers capable of shutting teams down.
The big problem for Kansas City for years has been outfield production, and other than signing Starling Marte to a $1 million deal and making a couple of smaller moves, Royals general manager JJ Picollo was unable to make any major improvement. Instead, the Royals will hope that power-hitting Jac Caglianone will improve against big league pitching in his sophomore season.

Anne Rogers talks to Carlos Estévez about blowing the game Saturday night.
“I feel like even if I execute my pitches at the velocity that I have, I’m going to get my outs,” Estévez said. “… If I can dominate at 92, pounding the strike zone, and I can do the same thing at 98, it’s going to be a lot tougher.
“I have always been a power pitcher. Usually my career has been dependent on it. But even knowing that my last few years I’ve been kind of low in my velo to start the year, I still find a way to pitch through it and get to the spot I want. I think it’s important, but I’m not going crazy about it. I know it’s going to be there.”
