The second half of the Major League Baseball season begins Friday, but teams are already making their travel plans for the 2025 season.

The league released the schedules of all 30 teams Thursday afternoon, which features the Athletics’ move to Sacramento, the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers beginning the season in Tokyo on March 18th and 19th, and protected interleague rivalries now unfolding over six games instead of four.

The season will begin Thursday, March 27th, featuring the Kansas City Royals hosting the Cleveland Guardians and the St Louis Cardinals hosting the Minnesota Twins. The I-70 series will be among 11 featured rivalries in a new “Rivalry Weekend” set for May 16th through 18th, with Kauffman Stadium hosting the series. The Royals will make the trip to Busch Stadium on June 3-5.

The Royals’ longest home stand will take place in mid-August, when the Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox, and Texas Rangers pay visits to The K over 10 games. The Cardinals will have a pair of nine-game home stands, the first in June with the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays following the Royals to St Louis, and the other in mid-August involving the Cubs, Colorado Rockies, and New York Yankees.

The Athletics will take trips from their temporary home in Sacramento to Missouri twice. The A’s will visit Kansas City on June 13-15 and St Louis on Sept. 1-3. The Royals will finish the season against the A’s at Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park on Sept. 26-28.

The current season resumes Friday night, with the 50-46 Cardinals in Atlanta to take on the fellow wild card contending Braves. Sonny Gray will get the start for the Cardinals, with first pitch from Truist Park at 6:20 p.m. The 52-45 Royals host the Chicago White Sox at The K, with Michael Wacha on the mound for the Royals. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m., with pregame coverage at 6:30 on KMMO.
