Just three days after the 2020 Twins schedule was released, after much anticipation, Major League Baseball quietly revealed the 2021 schedules Thursday.

The season, fittingly, begins on April Fools' Day amid the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic. The Twins start with a three-game series at Miller Park in Milwaukee against the Brewers.

The home opener is Thursday, April 8, against the Seattle Mariners, part of a seven-game homestand that includes four games against the Red Sox.

The Twins will have interleague games against Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis and the Chicago Cubs, the same National League teams they face during the 60-game 2020 season. Originally, the 2020 NL opponents were to be NL West teams.

The season ends the first weekend of October in Kansas City.
