The 2025 Chicago Cubs season was the 154th season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 150th in the National League, and the Cubs' 110th season at Wrigley Field. They are members of Major League Baseball's National League Central division. The Cubs began the season on March 18 with a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB Tokyo Series. They finished the regular season on September 28 with a win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cubs started the season 37–22, their best start since their 2016 World Series-winning season. On September 17, the Cubs clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 and their first playoff appearance in a non-shortened season since 2018 after sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodgers clinched the NL West division with a win on September 25, assuring that the Cubs would face the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card Series. They finished the regular season 92–70, five games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the division.
In the Wild Card Series, the Cubs won their first playoff series since 2017 by defeating the Padres in three games. As a result, they advanced to the Division Series where they played the top-seeded Brewers in the first I-94 rivalry matchup in the postseason history, losing the series 3–2.
The Chicago Cubs drew an average home attendance of 37,259, the 6th-highest of all MLB teams.
