2025 Atlanta Braves Schedule: Bravos start season with dreadful west coast trip

Leave it to Major League Baseball to drop all of the 2025 schedules out of nowhere when everyone is still recovering from the All-Star Game festivities. While the timing of the announcement is certainly suspect, it also means that we know what the Atlanta Braves schedule looks like with plenty of time to complain about it before the 2025 season gets underway.

With the balanced schedules and how inter-league play happens these days, every team generally has the same sorts of schedule quirks from weird cross-country jaunts to stretches that go from impossibly easy to almost impossible. In the Braves' case, their 2025 schedule does not get off to a banner start as they have a West Coast trip to start the season.

2025 Braves Schedule: Atlanta's season-opener is a west coast road trip, but not all the news is bad

It always feels bad to have the Braves on the road on Opening Day, but it is especially bad when said road games are on the West Coast. Likely, the first game against the Padres won't have a start time that completely screws Braves fans who want to watch, but the whole situation is far from ideal. After taking on the Padres, the Braves then have to deal with the Dodgers before returning for the home opener against the Marlins on April 4, 2025.

There are other aspects of the Braves schedule that are intriguing if not downright weird. MLB scrapped all of these dumb two-game inter-league series, so both the Orioles and the Yankees will be visiting Truist Park in July for three-game sets. The Braves have a pretty brutal road trip in late August/early September that involves a series against the Marlins, Phillies, and Cubs without a day off.

We'll know more once we have actual game times attached to these games, but it looks like the Braves will have their work cut out for them from day one of the 2025 season.
