Nothing captures MLB in the summer like a proper ballpark road trip: a full tank, a few hundred miles of highway, and a ballgame at the end of every drive. The hard part was never the driving. It’s the schedule.
So we did the math. We scored 2,265 upcoming three-ballpark itineraries across the 2026 MLB schedule to find the strongest trips for fans who want multiple games, manageable driving and a clean route. Each one gets a single number, the Road Trip Score, that tells you which trips are worth the gas money.
Below: the best routes still on the calendar, the top Friday-to-Sunday runs, a planner built around your team, and one truly terrible itinerary we ranked so you never have to drive it.
One more thing before you pack the car: these routes cross state lines, and what’s allowed changes at every border. Before you leave, check the legal sports betting states guide and the rundown of the best sportsbooks so your phone is ready for game one.
