LAS VEGAS, Nevada — After the A’s gave the Las Vegas market a taste of regular season big league baseball last month, the Athletics will back at Las Vegas Ballpark for another six regular season games from May 31 to June 5 in 2027.

The A’s will play the San Diego Padres Monday-Wednesday May 31 to June 2 at Las Vegas Ballpark and then host the Cincinnati Reds Thursday-Saturday June 3-5. The A’s plan on opening a new $2 billion domed stadium on the Strip in 2028.

The A’s just played two three-game series against the Brewers and Rockies a month ago, winning two of three games in each series.

The A’s, however, struggled mightily since the games in Las Vegas, losing 17 of 20 games including the last nine in a row to fall to a dismal record of 41 wins and 55 losses. The A’s pitchers have been awful and the team fired longtime pitching coach Scott Emerson, replacing Emo with bullpen coach Dan Hubbs.

Here’s a look at the A’s schedule for 2027:

Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights learned their schedule for 2026-2027 in the NHL’s tenth season.

The VGK will open on home ice for the eighth time in ten years, hosting the Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday Sept. 29 at T-Mobile Arena at 7:30 PM.

The Golden Knights will have two homestands next season with five-straight games played at T-Mobile Arena. The first will be in November and second one will be in March.

A rematch of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final is set for Dec. 21 when the Carolina Hurricanes visit T-Mobile Arena.

The season pauses in February for the 2027 NHL All-Star Game Feb. 5-6 at UBS Arena on Long Island before the Knights face the Dallas Stars in the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series on Saturday, Feb. 20 at AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

The regular season concludes on Saturday, April 10 when the Golden Knights host the Los Angeles Kings.
