The Dodgers and Cubs will open the 2025 season in Japan, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.
The two-game series will be played at the Tokyo Dome on March 18-19, making the Dodgers the first team to open back-to-back seasons with overseas games.
The Dodgers split a two-game set with the Padres to open this season in South Korea. The games were played March 20-21, with a week in between those games and the home opener against the Cardinals on March 28. (The team did play its traditional Freeway Series games against the Angels in between.)
