The Rockies have a home-heavy June and July but are on the road for a big chunk of the start of the season. The more balanced schedule introduced in 2023, will see the Rockies host the AL teams in 2024 they visited this season. Colorado’s two games internationally will both count as home games, and it’s the second time the Rockies are playing regular-season games south of the border, having done so in Monterrey in 1999, which was the first-ever international MLB game that wasn’t an exhibition.
