# 2025 Major League Baseball season

The 2025 Major League Baseball season began on March 18–19 with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs held in Tokyo, Japan, before the rest of the regular season, which is set to run from March 27 to September 28. It will be the 150th season for the National League and the 125th for the American League. The 95th All-Star Game is planned for July 15 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, the home of the Atlanta Braves. Going into the season, the defending World Series champions are the Los Angeles Dodgers from the 2024 season.
The Athletics have relocated from Oakland to West Sacramento, California, for at least three seasons before their planned relocation to the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The team will be branded as the Athletics, with no city name attached.

## Schedule

Major League Baseball released its 2025 schedule on July 18, 2024. There are 162 games scheduled for all teams. The scheduling formula was modified this season to increase the number of games between "prime" Interleague rivals from four to six, playing two three-game series instead of two two-game series. May 16–18 has also been designated as "Rivalry Weekend", featuring 11 series of these "prime" Interleague rivals.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs opened the season at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo on March 18–19 in the MLB Tokyo Series 2025. Opening Day in North America is then planned for March 27 except for the Colorado Rockies and the Tampa Bay Rays, which was rescheduled to March 28 due to works at the Rays' temporary ground Steinbrenner Field.
The 95th All-Star Game will be played on July 15, hosted by the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia. The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds will play a game at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, on August 2. The MLB Little League Classic at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, will be played on August 17 with the Seattle Mariners taking on the New York Mets.

## Rule changes

On January 25, 2025, MLB announced a set of rule changes to take effect in 2025:
* If a team violates the previously instituted ban on the infield shift, which requires a minimum of two infielders on either side of second base, the batter will be given first base and runners will be able to advance one base. Previously the penalty for violating the ban was an automatic ball. Teams will continue to have the ability to decline the penalty and accept the results of the play.
* Replay review will now be able to check whether or not a player overruns second or third base, and call them out for abandonment, even if that was not the subject of the original review.

## Experimental rules

During spring training only, 13 stadiums will be used to test the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS). When ABS is available, teams will have two challenges per game, retaining successful challenges. The batter, catcher, or pitcher can challenge a ball or strike call, but must do so immediately and without assistance from anyone else.

## Uniforms
### Wholesale changes

* Major League Baseball uniforms will revert to the previous cut and materials following the controversial Nike Vapor Premier changeover in 2024. This includes the return to larger letters on the player's name and pant customization options. However, the "batterman" logo will remain below the headspoon piping on certain uniforms, as it was in 2024. For 2025, the road uniforms will use the pre-2024 fabric, followed by the home uniforms in 2026. In addition, for the 2025 All-Star Game, regular home and road team uniforms will be used instead of game-specific uniforms that were introduced from 2021 to 2024. However, game-specific caps will still be used. Home uniforms will also be used on the Home Run Derby, while batting practice-specific uniforms will still be worn.
* The Guardians unveiled a new uniform set. The biggest change for the 2025 season will be seen in Cleveland's blue alternative uniform set. The jersey will continue to have a navy base but will move away from "CLEVELAND" across the chest and instead feature the Guardians "Diamond C" logo. The Guardians red home alternative uniform will feature a new look across the chest, as the script Guardians from 2024 will change to the club's Bridge Print font with "Guardians" across the chest. Piping on the red jersey will showcase a blue-white-blue look. Cleveland's white home uniform will continue to carry on its primary historic look with the script "Guardians" across the chest. The logo will shift from being on a slant to horizontal. New piping will be on the jersey with a red-blue-red design on the neckline and arms. A new home hat will make its debut in 2025, solely with the white uniform set, as the main color of the hat will change to red with a blue bill. All hats will continue to feature the "Diamond C," and the club's blue cap with red bill will be worn with all other jerseys (home red, road blue, road gray). The road uniform will stay the same.
* The Cubs unveiled a new powder blue alternate uniform, featuring a stylized Cubs logo on the right chest influenced by the team's early logos, and a guitar pick-shaped sleeve patch featuring the city name. The cap is blue with a white panel, emblazoned with the stylized Cubs logo in front. The uniform is inspired by Chicago's history of blues music and will be worn during Friday home day games in the summer.
* The Athletics replaced their elephant sleeve patch with a new patch representing their temporary home of Sacramento along with a silhouette of the Tower Bridge. The road and alternate green uniforms will be emblazoned with "Athletics" in front in place of the city name. The Athletics will also bring back the gold alternate uniform last worn in 2018, with thinner green piping.
* The Red Sox promoted their yellow City Connect uniforms to full-time alternates, replacing the navy blue road alternate uniforms, to make room for a new City Connect uniform.
* The Mets unveiled a new alternate blue pullover road jersey. It features the "New York" script in blue trimmed with orange across the chest, which was featured on the team's road jerseys in 1987. This will replace their blue home alternate jerseys. The gray road uniforms will also be tweaked, removing the blue piping and adding blue-orange-blue stripes on the sleeves, collar and pants.
* The Nationals brought back the alternate red "Curly W" uniform after a one-season absence but removed the white and blue piping. Due to the "4+1" rule by Nike, the team retired the white alternate pullover "Capitol W" uniform after only one season.
* The Orioles added orange pants to pair with the orange alternate uniform for select games, and the set will be worn with the orange-brimmed black "cartoon bird" cap. This marked the first time since 1972 that the Orioles would wear all-orange uniforms as an alternate option. They will continue to wear white pants with the white-paneled "cartoon bird" cap for other select games with the orange uniform.
* The Royals tweaked their home alternate powder blue uniforms, pairing it with the powder blue pants on a full-time basis. The powder blue jerseys were previously paired with the home white pants, while the powder blue pants were worn sporadically in 2023.
* The Reds added an alternate home white uniform. The design is similar to the primary home white uniform, but with the chest numbers and piping removed, and the red "wishbone C" logo replacing the full "C-REDS" logo.

## Media
### Television
#### National

This will be the fourth year of the existing seven-year deals with Fox, TBS, and Apple TV+. This is also the fourth year of a deal with ESPN. However, ESPN and Major League Baseball announced prior to the season that both parties had exercised a mutual opt-out to end the agreement following the 2025 season. This is the second year of a multi-year deal with TelevisaUnivision.

##### Linear television

* Fox will continue to air their Fox Saturday Baseball and Baseball Night in America slate of games on most Saturdays during the season and select Thursday nights. Fox will exclusively air the MLB Speedway Classic as part of their package. Fox and FS1 will split coverage of the MLB Tokyo Series, with Fox airing the first game and FS1 airing the second. Fox will air the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. FS1 will also broadcast games, mainly on Saturday afternoons, which will be both non-exclusive, and co-exist with regional broadcasts.
* TBS will continue to broadcast MLB Tuesday. Most games are blacked out in the home markets of the teams playing, however, TBS is allowed to co-exist once with a teams' local broadcast.
* ESPN will continue to broadcast Sunday Night Baseball, with the option to show alternate broadcasts, along with at-least five other exclusive regular season games. For the first time since 2021, ESPN will air a doubleheader on Opening Day. ESPN will also air a doubleheader on Sunday, July 6, as part of July 4 weekend. The network also has the rights to the Home Run Derby. Select games may air on ABC or ESPN2. Joe Buck, who was the lead MLB on Fox play-by-play commentator until he moved to ESPN for Monday Night Football in 2022, will call his first nationally televised baseball game for ESPN on Opening Day in 2025.
* MLB Network will continue to broadcast a regular slate of games. While most games will be simulcasts of the teams' local broadcast, select games will be produced by the network under its MLB Network Showcase banner. All games are blacked out in the home markets of the teams playing.
* UniMás and TUDN will air the weekly whiparound show MLB En Vivo on Tuesday nights throughout the season, the weekly studio show MLB Esta Semana (lit. 'MLB This Week') on Saturday nights, and postseason coverage.

###### Streaming

* Apple TV+ continues to hold the rights to Friday Night Baseball which features two exclusive games each Friday during the season.
* This will be the second season that MLB Sunday Leadoff will be streamed on The Roku Channel under a multi-year deal which features one game each week from May to August, the network has the option in airing games in the early or late windows.
* The league's MLB.tv will continue to stream out-of-market games, and all of Roku's games.

##### Postseason

During the postseason, the ESPN networks (including ABC, with Spanish–language simulcasts on ESPN Deportes) will air all four Wild Card Series. TNT Sports (TBS and truTV) will then broadcast the National League Division Series and the National League Championship Series, and Fox Sports (Fox and FS1, with Spanish-language simulcasts on Fox Deportes) will broadcast the American League Division Series, the American League Championship Series and the World Series.

#### Local

* The Chicago White Sox, the NBA's Chicago Bulls, the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, and Standard Media launched the Chicago Sports Network in October 2024, replacing NBC Sports Chicago as their regional broadcaster.
* NBC Sports California signed a modified agreement to continue to be the Athletics' regional broadcaster, as the network's broadcast territory includes both the smaller Sacramento media market and the larger Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area market.
* Amid the now-resolved bankruptcy of Main Street Sports Group (formerly Diamond Sports Group)—owners of the FanDuel Sports Network (FDSN, formerly Bally Sports) regional sports networks, its contracts with the Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers expired at the end of the 2024 season. Diamond renegotiated its contracts with most of the remaining teams it televises, aside from the Cincinnati Reds.
** MLB Local Media will assume the rights to the Guardians and Twins beginning in the 2025 season.
** The Brewers and Reds were originally announced as also moving to MLB Local Media, but Diamond later re-entered into negotiations with both teams, and reached new agreements for them to remain on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin and Ohio respectively. The new contracts also include additional options to carry the teams' games on direct-to-consumer (DTC) platforms.
** The Rangers will introduce a new in-house broadcasting unit known as the Rangers Sports Network. It will operate similarly to MLB Local Media, distributing games via agreements with television providers within the team's market and offering a DTC service hosted by Victory+ (which will be available via a paid "season pass", or at no additional charge to authenticated subscribers of television providers who agree to carry Rangers games). The Rangers also announced agreements with Gray Media and Nexstar Media Group to syndicate a package of 15 games—primarily Friday home games—to a network of broadcast television stations, with KDAF in Dallas as flagship station.
* On November 22, 2024, the Miami Marlins parted ways with television play-by-play announcer Paul Severino after seven seasons. On January 17, 2025, the Marlins announced that they have moved announcer Kyle Sielaff from radio to television play-by-play.
* In addition to airing on FanDuel Sports Network, the Braves, Cardinals and Royals announced agreements to simulcast packages of games on networks of Gray Media broadcast stations. The Braves will air a package of 15 regular season games in simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network South, with WPCH-TV in Atlanta as the flagship station. In addition, Gray will exclusively produce and air 10 spring training games. The Cardinals will air a package of at-least 10 regular season games in simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City, with Matrix Midwest as the flagship station. The Royals will air a package of 10 regular season games in simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City, with KSMO-TV as the flagship station. These deals resemble arrangements made under some of FDSN's NBA and NHL contracts, which similarly enable teams to simulcast a limited package of games on broadcast television.
** In March 2025, the Brewers and Tigers reached agreements with Fox Television Stations (a former sister to FanDuel Sports Network) to serve as flagships for similar arrangements, with Detroit's WJBK to simulcast 10 Tigers games with FanDuel Sports Network Detroit, and WITI in Milwaukee to simulcast 10 regular season Brewers games and 3 spring training games with FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin. The Brewers' radio rightsholder Good Karma Brands is handling syndication agreements for the Brewers' package, which also includes affiliates in other Wisconsin markets.
* On February 18, 2025, the New York Mets and SNY announced that it would offer a DTC subscription package covering most regional games (aside from those carried by its WPIX-led broadcast television package); the service will be distributed via a partnership with MLB.tv, becoming the first third-party broadcaster to host its DTC service on the platform.
* On February 21, 2025, the Seattle Mariners promoted announcer Aaron Goldsmith to lead television play-by-play following the departure of Dave Sims to the New York Yankees' radio booth. The Mariners also parted ways with long-time television analyst Mike Blowers after a 17-year tenure. As a result, analyst duties will be split between Jay Buhner, Dave Valle, Angie Mentink, and Ryan Rowland-Smith.
* On March 3, 2025, the Orioles and Nationals reached a settlement to end the teams dispute over television rights fee payments. Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), which is owned and operated by the Orioles but airs both teams games, pays rights fees to the Nationals. Through the settlement, the Nationals' agreement with the Orioles and MASN will end following the 2025 season.
* On March 12, 2025, the Braves announced that they would introduce Spanish-language commentary on SAP for regional games on FanDuel Sports Network, with Francisco X. Rivera on play-by-play.

### Radio
#### National

* This will be the final season that ESPN Radio will be airing games (due to ESPN opting out of this deal along with its TV deal), which includes Sunday night baseball, and the entire All Star Weekend and the entire MLB Postseason.

#### Local

* On November 14, 2024, the New York Yankees announced the hiring of Dave Sims as the team's primary radio play-by-play announcer, succeeding John Sterling. Sims was previously the lead television play-by-play announcer of the Seattle Mariners, holding the job since 2007.
* On November 15, 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced the hiring of Luis Cruz (who played for the team in 2012 and 2013) as an analyst for its Spanish-language radio broadcasts, succeeding Fernando Valenzuela—who had died on October 22, 2024.
* On January 16, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers' long-time play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker died at the age of 90. A Ford C. Frick Award winner in 2003, Uecker had been the team's primary radio announcer since 1971, and also worked national broadcasts for ABC and NBC. The Brewers will utilize Jeff Levering, Lane Grindle, and Josh Maurer on radio play-by-play during this season, with Grindle and/or Maurer calling games when Levering is on television.

## Retired numbers

* David Wright will have his No. 5 retired by the New York Mets on July 19. This will be the eleventh number retired by the team.
