See the full Cubs schedule, including giveaways and celebrations, for 2025 MLB season
The Chicago Cubs will return to Wrigley Field for their home opener next month against the San Diego Padres, but first, they kicked off the regular season against the defending World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, last Tuesday and Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan.
This series marked the first time an MLB game was held in Japan since the Mariners swept the Athletics in 2019.
This will also be the second season for Cubs manager Craig Counsell as he continues to grow into his role after leaving the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023.
View the team's full schedule for the regular season, along with promotional days for fans in Wrigley, below.
