MLB 2026 Opens with Outrageous Ballpark Foods

Opening Day on Wednesday saw 11 games across the league, starting at 1:15 p.m. ET with the Mets hosting the Pirates. The season kickoff set the tone for a year of baseball excitement.

Ballpark food has taken center stage, with the Braves offering the massive Bat Flip burger—two pounds of meat on a seven‑inch brioche bun—and the Marlins debuting the two‑foot Machete quesadilla, a stuffed tortilla with carne asada and melted cheeses. Los Angeles also added a watermelon habanero margarita to its menu.
