• The historic 30th season of MLB on FOX starts off in Tokyo as the Chicago Cubs and the defending Los Angeles Dodgers are set to play each other. FS1 begins its 12th MLB season in Tokyo for the Cubs-Dodgers Opening Series. 

• The worlds of MLB and NASCAR collide this summer for the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic when the Braves take on the Reds in the first-ever MLB game from the state of Tennessee (Saturday, August 2 at 7:00 PM ET on FOX).

• 95th MLB All-Star Game: FOX is scheduled to provide live coverage of their 26th MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 15, from Truist Park in Atlanta, home of the Braves (8:00 PM ET on FOX).

As spring training is opening up throughout the United States, FOX Sports is taking full advantage of this time of the year by announcing the 2025 regular season schedule on FOX and FS1. This year will mark the notable 30th season of baseball coverage on FOX, and the 12th season of MLB game coverage on FS1.

The 2025 MLB season starts with the FOX family of networks covering the Tokyo Series presented by Guggenheim featuring the Chicago Cubs and the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers from the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The two-game mini-series sees global star and the 2024 National League MVP, Shohei Ohtani, back to his native country of Japan, with Game 1 airing on FOX on Tuesday, March 18 at 6:00 AM ET and Game 2 airing on FS1 on Wednesday, March 19 at 6:00 AM ET.

The following week, when MLB has its more traditional Opening Day in the United States, FOX/FS1 will have a day-night twin-bill on the first "official" Saturday of the regular season, Saturday, March 29. At 2:00 PM ET on FS1, the Minnesota Twins will visit the St. Louis Cardinals. In primetime that night, at 7:00 PM ET on FOX, the network plans to televise two matchups on a regional basis - Atlanta Braves vs. San Diego Padres & New York Mets vs. Houston Astros (we will post an article with a distribution breakdown closer to the day of the game).

FOX Highlights MLB's Key Events for 2025

Speedway Classic: Baseball takes over NASCAR down in Tennessee:

This August, the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee transforms itself into a one-night spectacle as the Atlanta Braves match up with the Cincinnati Reds in a distinctive environment. The legendary NASCAR track and America's favorite pastime combine for the first-ever event of this size as Tennessee hosts their first-ever MLB game on Saturday, August 2 at 7:00 PM ET on FOX.

The 95th MLB All-Star Game - The best of the best converge in Atlanta:

On Tuesday, July 15, the city of Atlanta, Georgia, will take center stage for the annual Midsummer Classic at 8:00 PM ET on FOX. Live from Atlanta's Truist Park, baseball's most elite players will compete in the national spotlight. FOX's 26th All-Star Game marks the MOST All-Star Games on any broadcast network.

The Postseason - The journey towards the 2025 World Series:

The busy 2025 season on FOX reaches the grand finale with the network's presentation of the 2025 World Series presented by Capital One. This World Series is the 26th one that FOX will televise to a national audience in the 30 years that FOX has held television rights to Major League Baseball. In addition, FOX Sports has the rights to the American League Division Series (ALDS) and American League Championship Series (ALCS). The 121st Fall Classic last season, which saw the Dodgers best the Yankees in five games, caught the attention of the baseball world, bringing in an average of over 15 million viewers, the best combined figure for a World Series since 2017 (Astros-Dodgers).
