Before the first Pitch Against the Chicago Clubs, The Texas Rangers will Show a World Championship banner just before the 6:30 p.m.
Afterward, the Rangers will strive to defend their world title, a feat not achieved in Major League Baseball for 24 years since the New York Yankees clinched three consecutive World Series victories from 1998 to 2000.
In total, the Rangers hold a record of 24 wins and 28 losses in season openers, with an equal number of victories and defeats at Globe Life Field. This marks the second occasion that the Rangers face the Cubs in their home opener, having previously suffered a loss to Chicago in 2019.
