They’ll play four games against the White Sox in May and face the AL East in interleague play.

No one knows yet what the Cubs will look like in 2022, but their first opponents will be quite familiar.

The Cubs’ first four series next season will be against National League Central rivals.

They will open the season on Friday March 31 in a three-game series against the Reds in Cincinnati. The home opener is Monday April 4 against the Cardinals. The Cubs then have series against the Brewers at Wrigley Field and the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

The annual crosstown series against the White Sox will be May 3-4 at Wrigley Field and May 28-29 at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Cubs will face the AL East in interleague play:

• Tampa Bay comes to Wrigley April 18-20;
• The Cubs will play at Yankee Stadium June 10-12;
• The Red Sox will visit the North Side July 1-3;
• And the Blue Jays will host the Cubs Aug. 29-31.

The regular season will end with another three-game series in Cincinnati Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
