WORLD SERIES REMATCH FOR HOME OPENER
The Red Sox host the St. Louis Cardinals on April 4 for the 2025 home opener at Fenway Park.
Throughout a storied history, the Red Sox and Cardinals met four different times in the World Series, splitting the championship quartet. St. Louis won in 1946 and 1967 before Boston earned titles in 2004 and 2013.
The Cardinals took two out of three to earn a series win against the Red Sox in St. Louis back in May this season. Boston did win the series finale on May 19 that began a run in which the ballclub holds the best record in baseball since then.

BUSY JUNE WITH BRONX BOMBERS
It's taken awhile into the season in recent years for the Red Sox and Yankees to meet and that will continue in 2025.

The Red Sox hold a 4-2 advantage in the season series over the Yankees so far in 2024 with seven matchups remaining.
HOME COOKING IN MAY
The Red Sox will host their longest homestand of the 2025 season from May 16-25. In that span, Boston will welcome the Atlanta Braves, the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles to Fenway Park, all for three-game series.
