Pirates Home Opener at PNC Park Set for Friday

The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to host the New York Yankees for their home opener at PNC Park on Friday, April 4, 2025. Coming off a 2-5 start after a seven-game road trip, the team is eager to ignite local support at one of baseball’s most acclaimed stadiums. Game time is slated for 4:12 pm—a playful nod to Pittsburgh’s 412 area code—with gates opening at 2 pm.

Adding to the excitement, Yankees players will be showcasing the innovative 'torpedo bats' that have been drawing considerable attention across Major League Baseball. In addition to the unique equipment, PNC Park will delight fans with creative offerings such as popcorn-filled bats and themed drinkware. The festivities will spill into the streets around the North Shore and Downtown Pittsburgh, creating a vibrant backdrop for a much-anticipated season kickoff. Fans can catch the action live on Sportsnet Pittsburgh or stream via SNP 360.
