The 2025 MLB (Major League Baseball) season officially began with the international series in Japan between the Dodgers and Cubs.
But the excitement is just getting started: Opening Day in the United States will be this Thursday, March 27, with key games for baseball fans across the country, especially for the Hispanic community that follows teams like the Marlins, Astros and Yankees.
Historical series in Japan
On March 18 and 19, 2025, MLB officially kicked off its regular season with two games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs, played at the Tokyo Dome.
This series commemorated the 25th anniversary of the first regular season game played in Japan in 2000.
The games were part of the MLB World Tour 2025, a strategy that seeks to expand baseball’s global reach.
The Dodgers, who had participated in previous international games (Australia 2014, Mexico 2018 and South Korea 2024), made their debut in Japan for the first time.
The Cubs, on the other hand, returned to the stadium where they made history 25 years ago.
Opening Day in the USA
On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the traditional Opening Day will be played on U.S. soil, with the participation of all 30 MLB teams.
It will be a day full of excitement, divisional rivalries and interleague games that will set the tone for the season.
