The 2025 Major League Baseball season began on March 18 (with a special two-game Tokyo Series), while the regular season ended on September 28. The postseason began on September 30. The World Series then began on October 24 and concluded on November 1 with the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games to win their ninth title in franchise history and their eighth since moving to Los Angeles in 1958.

The 95th All-Star Game was played on July 15 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, the home of the Atlanta Braves. The National League won the "swing-off" tiebreaker after a 6–6 tie after nine innings.

The Athletics relocated from Oakland to West Sacramento, California, for at least three seasons before their planned relocation to the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Beginning with this season, the team is currently branded as the Athletics, with no city name attached.

This was the first season since 2005 in which there wasn't a no-hitter pitched.

For the first time in Major League history, a season began and concluded beyond the borders of the United States. The season opened in Tokyo, Japan, and concluded in Toronto, Canada.
