A Yankees-Mets Subway Series Will Be Held Next Year To Commemorate The 25th Anniversary Of 9/11

Baseball fans are already looking ahead to the MLB 2026 schedule , which was released on Tuesday, August 27th. Most notably for New Yorkers, a Yankees vs Mets matchup is slated for September 11th to 13th to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. This is following a tradition from five years ago, when the two also went head-to-head on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The Bronx Bombers will assume hosting duties in 2026. Yankees vs. Mets on 9/11/26 --------------------------- The Yanks took to Instagram with a video to highlight important dates throughout the season, which included the **September** games vs. the Amazin’ Mets. Judging from Instagram comments, it seems as though New Yorkers find this a fitting way to continue on after the tragedy. The commemorative game in 2021 was an emotional one for players and attendees alike, with many holding up signs that read “Never forget” and sporting jerseys that honored those we lost on that tragic day. When speaking to an **MLB reporter**, Kevin Morrow — a young fireman when 9/11 took place — recalled the energy of the game five years ago and said, “The cry was, ‘We’ll never forget.’ Something symbolic and simple like a baseball player coming out, that makes us feel good and makes us understand that there are a lot of people that still understand what happened, and how our nation was attacked and how we unified. Our flag still represents what it represents.” Additionally, there are a few more notable points about the forthcoming season. Per MLB reporter, Shanthi Sepe-Chepuru, “The 2026 championship season will begin on Wednesday, March 25, with a standalone Opening Night matchup between the Giants and Yankees at Oracle Park in San Francisco, followed by a 14-game Opening Day slate on Thursday, March 26th — the earliest scheduled traditional Opening Day in MLB history.” You can learn more by visiting the **New York Yankees’ website**.
