Do you want to hit the road for an MLB stadium road trip in 2025, but don’t want to spend time perusing the schedule to find an itinerary that works for you? Well, we’re here to help.

The pursuit of seeing multiple MLB stadiums in one road trip is the most common thing we get asked about here at Itinerant Fan, so it’s no surprise that even during the offseason, we still have baseball on our minds.

Because Major League Baseball has already released the 2025 schedule, we’ve got plenty of time to plan out itineraries for visiting MLB stadiums.

The fact that MLB teams play nearly every day during the season means that the potential for interesting ballpark road trips are nearly endless, and we’ve pored over the 2025 schedule to come up with just a handful of intriguing trip ideas. However, we know we’ve just scratched the surface, so at the very least we hope this serves as a springboard for inspiration.

It’s certainly fun to follow a team on a lengthy road trip, but we tend to lean toward itineraries that serve the “ballpark chaser,” aka someone who wants to visit as many parks as possible over a certain period of days.

Longtime readers of this blog know that we do road trip suggestions for all the major leagues each season, including the NFL, NBA and NHL. We find it much easier to find good road trip itineraries in baseball because of the fact that the teams play nearly every day, so if anything, let this guide be a jumping-off point to finding an itinerary that works for your specific schedule.

Like the other leagues, we try to apply a few ground rules to these itineraries:

• We looked to pack as many games into as small a timeframe as possible, at least considering typical travel times by car (we won’t suggest you travel cross-country for games on back-to-back days, for instance).
• We try to look only at trips where you’re traveling in the same general direction as you go from city to city (so no zig-zagging around).
• We tried to limit the number of times you see a particular team to twice.
• We looked only at minimum four-city trips, because longer trips are always more fun.
• Because starting times can fluctuate, it’s possible that scheduled day games can impact travel. However, in nearly all of the below cases, itineraries can be stretched out by a day or two to allow for a less hectic travel schedule.

By the way, the 2025 season includes a couple interesting curveballs on the MLB schedule. The Athletics are no longer in Oakland, having moved up the road to Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park as a waystation while a new ballpark is being built for them in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, the Rays will be playing the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the Yankees in Tampa, after Tropicana Field was deemed unfixable in time for next season due to damage from Hurricane Milton.

Check out all our ideas for MLB stadium road trips for the 2025 season below.

1) West Coast season opener

Thursday, March 27: Cubs at Diamondbacks
Friday, March 28: Braves at Padres
Saturday, March 29: Tigers at Dodgers
Monday, March 31: Cubs at Athletics

Thursday, March 27 is Opening Day, so you can get your baseball travels started right off the bat (pun intended).

Spend Opening Day catching the Diamondbacks at Chase Field before heading west, stopping first at San Diego’s Petco Park and then at Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers will no doubt still be celebrating their 2024 World Series title.

Finally, head north to Sacramento and catch the first-ever major-league game at Sutter Health Park, the 14,000-seat Triple-A stadium that will host the A’s for three seasons.

Want to make this a longer baseball trip? Head to Arizona early and catch the final few days of the Cactus League in Phoenix. Spring training games will be taking place through Monday, March 24.

2) Springtime Northeastern swing

Wednesday, April 16: Nationals at Pirates
Thursday, April 17: Guardians at Orioles
Friday, April 18: Marlins at Phillies
Saturday, April 19: Cardinals at Mets
Monday, April 21: White Sox at Red Sox

Check out this five-city trip that begins at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, then winds its way east with stops at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Citi Field in New York and Fenway Park in Boston.

The most interesting thing about this itinerary: Every year the Red Sox play an 11 a.m. home game on Patriots Day in Massachusetts, which in 2025 falls on April 21. It’s also the day of the annual Boston Marathon. So while this is an MLB-focused trip, you can get a taste of a festive regional holiday as well as well as an epic event in another sport.

3) The Midwest baseball marathon

Friday, May 9: Cardinals at Nationals
Sunday, May 11: Braves at Pirates
Monday, May 12: Brewers at Guardians
Tuesday, May 13: Rays at Blue Jays
Wednesday, May 14: Red Sox at Tigers
Friday, May 16: White Sox at Cubs
Saturday, May 17: Twins at Brewers

Here’s the most ambitious trip we found on the 2025 MLB schedule, and it involves two time zones — and two countries!

You’ll begin in Washington, D.C., checking out Nationals Park. Then make stops at PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Progressive Field in Cleveland before crossing the border into Canada to see the Blue Jays at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.

From there, head back into the U.S. and visit Comerica Park in Detroit, Wrigley Field in Chicago (for a Cubs-White Sox crosstown rivalry game), and finally American Family Field in Milwaukee. Whew!

Certainly, just a portion of this trip would make for an epic baseball journey. But if you’ve got the time and resources, why not check off nearly a quarter of MLB’s stadiums in one trip?

4) The all-California tour

Tuesday, June 17: Astros at Athletics
Wednesday, June 18: Guardians at Giants
Friday, June 20: Nationals at Dodgers
Saturday, June 21: Astros at Angels
Sunday, June 22: Royals at Padres

At least until the A’s complete their move to Las Vegas, the state of California boasts five MLB teams. Catch all of them in one week on this cusp-of-summer trip!

Start with the northern part of the state, with the A’s at Sutter Health Park, before heading to the Bay Area and seeing the Giants at Oracle Park. Take a day to travel south and spend the weekend checking off the three SoCal stadiums: Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Petco Park.

5) All-Star Weekend + 3

Monday, July 14: MLB Home Run Derby in Atlanta
Tuesday, July 15: MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta
Friday, July 18: Royals at Braves
Sunday, July 20: Orioles at Rays
Tuesday, July 22: Padres at Marlins

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game will be held at Atlanta’s Truist Park. So check out the festivities that weekend and then circle through the Southeast’s ballparks in one journey.

Stay in Atlanta a couple extra days and catch a Braves game at Truist Park, then make your way south into Florida to see the Rays at Steinbrenner Field and then the Marlins at LoanDepot Park.

(By the way, if you don’t have a full week to spare, you can abbreviate this trip by heading south early and seeing the Rays on Friday and the Marlins on Saturday.)

6) The summertime Midwest tour

Sunday, Aug. 10: Royals at Twins
Monday, Aug. 11: Pirates at Brewers
Tuesday, Aug. 12: Tigers at White Sox
Wednesday, Aug. 13: Phillies at Reds
Thursday, Aug. 14: Marlins at Guardians

As the dog days of summer continue, get your baseball on with this five-city itinerary beginning at Minneapolis’ Target Field and continuing on with stops at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati and Progressive Field in Cleveland.

This trip does have one notable omission: Wrigley Field. If you’d like to include a stop at the Friendly Confines, you can circle back to Chicago to see the Cubs host the Pirates Aug. 15-17.

7) The final-week frenzy

Wednesday, Sept. 24: Rays at Orioles
Thursday, Sept. 25: Marlins at Phillies
Friday, Sept. 26: Orioles at Yankees
Saturday, Sept. 27: Tigers at Red Sox

Playoff races will likely be coming to a frenetic end, so see it live on this East Coast swing with stops at Camden Yards, Citizens Bank Park, Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. Four of the teams featured here made the postseason in 2024, so perhaps one or more of these games will prove critical.
