The Braves will open the 2025 season Thursday on the West Coast against the Padres in San Diego.

Here’s a look at some key coming dates for the team:

-Thursday: Season opener at Padres, 4:05 p.m.

-March 31: Opener of three-game series at Dodgers, 10:10 p.m.

-April 4: Home opener vs. Marlins at Truist Park, 7:15 p.m.

-July 15: 2025 MLB All-Star game, Truist Park
