Here’s the uncomfortable truth about combining Red Sox and Celtics in one weekend: the NBA regular season ends in mid-April, and baseball runs April through September. The overlap window is tiny. We pulled every confirmed home game from both teams’ 2026 schedules and found exactly one weekend where you can see both the Red Sox at Fenway and the Celtics at TD Garden.
After that, you’re looking at Red Sox plus other Boston sports — Bruins, Revolution, or just a pure baseball weekend with a great rivalry matchup. Every weekend below uses confirmed, scheduled games. No "potential playoff" guesswork, no Summer League filler, no preseason ghosts.

Weekend Breakdown
1. April 3-5 — The Only True Red Sox + Celtics Weekend
This is the one. Three leagues, five confirmed games, one weekend.
Friday and Saturday you’re at Fenway for the Padres series — a solid early-season matchup before the tourists flood Lansdowne Street. Saturday afternoon, the Revolution host CF Montréal at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough (about 35 minutes by commuter rail from Back Bay, not walking distance — plan for that). Then Sunday, you close with Celtics vs Raptors at TD Garden.
The logistics work because Fenway and TD Garden are connected by the MBTA Green Line: Kenmore Station to North Station, roughly 15 minutes. No rideshare needed. The Revs game at Gillette is the only wrinkle — it’s in Foxborough, so budget a couple hours round-trip.
This weekend is as good as it gets for a Boston multi-sport trip. Book it before the Celtics regular season ends.
2. April 10-12 — Three Leagues, No Red Sox
No Fenway this weekend, but you get two Celtics games, a Bruins game, and a Revolution match. Friday is Celtics vs Pelicans, Saturday is a Bruins–Lightning matinee at TD Garden and Revolution vs D.C. United out at Gillette, and Sunday is the Celtics’ Fan Appreciation game against Orlando.
Two of three days are at TD Garden, which keeps things simple. If you care more about hockey and basketball than baseball, this is actually the more efficient weekend. Just know that this is one of the last regular-season weekends for both the Celtics and Bruins — ticket prices reflect that.
3. May 1-3 — Red Sox + Revolution (Celtics Season Over)
By May, the Celtics and Bruins are in the playoffs or done. The confirmed schedule gives you Red Sox vs Astros all weekend at Fenway, plus Revolution vs Charlotte on Saturday. Houston brings good baseball and a solid pitching matchup.
This is a cleaner, simpler trip: baseball Friday through Sunday, soccer on Saturday, everything reasonably accessible by transit. No splitting attention across four venues. Sometimes less is more.
4. June 26-28 — Red Sox vs Yankees (Pure Rivalry Weekend)
No other leagues in play, but this is Red Sox vs Yankees at Fenway. Four consecutive games from Thursday through Sunday. If you need a reason to fly to Boston for baseball alone, this is it.
Fenway during a Yankees series is a different animal — louder, more intense, harder to get tickets. Expect to pay a premium. The Friday night game under the lights with a full house and a rivalry atmosphere is worth the trip by itself.
5. July 24-26 — Red Sox + Revolution (Mid-Summer)
Red Sox vs Blue Jays (Fri-Sun) plus Revolution vs Atlanta United (Sat). Peak summer baseball weather — it’ll be hot at Fenway, especially in the bleachers. The Blue Jays series draws a decent Canadian contingent, which adds some energy to the crowd.
The Revs game against Atlanta United on Saturday is one of the better MLS matchups of the summer. Same Gillette commuter rail logistics as the April weekends.
The Transit Hack Every Guide Misses
Fenway Park sits next to Kenmore Station on the Green Line. TD Garden sits above North Station. One train, about 15 minutes, no transfer. If you’re doing a same-day Fenway-to-Garden double, take the T. Boston traffic after a Red Sox game is genuinely miserable — we’re talking 45 minutes to go two miles. The Green Line solves it.
For the Revolution games at Gillette Stadium, take the commuter rail from Back Bay to Foxborough. It runs special event service on game days. Budget 35-40 minutes each way.
