Major League Baseball and the Chicago Cubs announced the 2025 Spring Training schedule Thursday afternoon.
Next year’s Spring Training will be unusual for the Cubs because they’ll be leaving Arizona for some time to play two regular-season games against the Dodgers in Japan. Then they’ll return to Mesa to play a few more practice games, including a rare visit from the Atlanta Braves for a pair of games at Sloan Park, before opening the North American portion of their regular season at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.
In total, the Cubs will play 25 spring games in Arizona, including 17 at Sloan Park.
