Red Sox spring training is at JetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Fla. MLB says 2027 Spring Training begins Friday, Feb. 19, and MLB’s schedule has the Red Sox playing the Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco on March 22 and 23. So the Fort Myers trip should sit inside that window, built around home games you confirm on the Red Sox schedule.
That matters for a practical reason. A late-March week booked without checking can land after the team has left Florida for its San Francisco games. And flights booked before game times are confirmed can leave you with a day that doesn’t line up with baseball.
When Does Red Sox Spring Training Start in 2027?
MLB says 2027 Spring Training begins Friday, Feb. 19, with all 30 clubs in action across the Cactus and Grapefruit leagues. The Red Sox camp at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers. MLB’s schedule has them at Oracle Park against the Giants March 22 and 23. The regular season opens Wednesday, March 24, with Opening Day Thursday, March 25.
Those dates come from MLB’s 2027 Spring Training schedule release. The same release says exhibition games will be played at Major and Minor League ballparks from Saturday, March 20 through Tuesday, March 23. It also says more exhibition games are expected to be added.
The club’s own schedule is where the Red Sox home dates and game times live. MLB’s release points readers to each club’s site for those individual schedules. Confirm yours there before you book a flight you can’t change. That’s where a game time gets settled.
Where Is JetBlue Park, and How Do You Get There?
JetBlue Park at Fenway South sits at 11500 Fenway South Drive in Fort Myers, Fla. From I-75 in either direction, take Exit 131 and head east on Daniels Parkway. Go straight through the Treeline and Daniels intersection. The ballpark is 1.6 miles past it, on the left.
Those directions come from the Red Sox’s Getting to JetBlue Park page, which also says parking at JetBlue Park for Spring Training is included with your game ticket. The same page lists Red Sox Spring Training preferred hotels in Fort Myers and Bonita Springs.
Major League Vacations’ Red Sox page names Southwest Florida International as the typical gateway for the trip. The same page says the facility was designed to echo Fenway Park, with its own Green Monster in left field. It also says the intimate setting puts fans close to the players during workouts and exhibition games. If you’ve been to Fenway Park, the look should feel familiar.
Which Fort Myers Window Fits Your Trip?
Any window between Feb. 19 and the days before the team heads to San Francisco can work. Pick it by the home games you confirm on the Red Sox schedule, then by how long your group wants to stay. Three stretches are worth comparing.
| Window | What MLB has set | What to confirm with the Red Sox |
|---|---|---|
| Late February. | MLB says 2027 Spring Training begins Friday, Feb. 19, with all 30 clubs in action. | Confirm the home games in that stretch and their times. |
| Early to mid March. | This sits inside the spring, with no MLB date attached. | Confirm the home games and their times. |
| The days before March 22. | Exhibition games run March 20 through 23 at Major and Minor League ballparks. MLB’s schedule has the Red Sox at Oracle Park March 22 and 23. | Confirm where the team plays on the days you pick. |
Choose late February if the start of camp is the draw. MLB’s Feb. 19 date is the one fixed point in the whole window, so a trip can be built around it. Just confirm which of those days carries a home game.
Choose early to mid March if you want room to move. Nothing in MLB’s release pins that stretch down, so the home schedule, your flights and your room can all be chosen together. As a general rule, that’s where the dates should bend the easiest.
Choose the days before March 22 only after you’ve checked where the team plays. MLB has exhibition games running March 20 through 23 at Major and Minor League ballparks, and its schedule has the Red Sox at Oracle Park on March 22 and 23. So a Fort Myers trip should be planned for days before the team heads west for those games.
Each window gives something up. February locks in a date but not a game. March bends more, and it needs the club’s schedule to mean anything. The late stretch is the one where a guess can put you in the wrong state.
Add a Twins Game in the Same City
A second club trains in the same city. Major League Vacations’ page on Twins spring training packages says the Twins’ spring home is Hammond Stadium at Lee Health Sports Complex, 14100 Six Mile Cypress Pkwy, Fort Myers.
A Fort Myers base can put another ballpark in the same city on your list. So a day without a Red Sox home game doesn’t have to be a day without baseball, if the Twins’ schedule lines up. Check that schedule the same way you check the Red Sox’s.
Fans who want to stretch the trip to other Grapefruit League parks can start with planning a multi-ballpark spring training trip.
If you want the labor background before booking, MLB’s Dec. 1 labor deadline covers it.
Book the Trip in This Order
Order helps here. As a general rule, work it like this:
- Confirm the Red Sox home schedule and game times on the club’s own site. A ticket should be for a game you’ve confirmed there.
- Pick the window that fits those games and the time your group has.
- Check flights into Southwest Florida International, the gateway named on Major League Vacations’ Red Sox page.
- If you can, keep the room changeable until the game times are settled.
- Recheck where the team plays around March 20 through 23 before you commit to a late-March week.
As a general rule, flights are the hardest piece to change, so they shouldn’t be the first thing you lock.
