KBO has confirmed the principle of scheduling KBO regular season games in 2025.

KBO held its fourth board meeting in 2024 on the 26th and announced its next season's operation plan.

First, the exhibition game will be held on March 8-18, with 10 games per team to make a final inspection ahead of the regular season.



The regular season will open on the 22nd and start a six-month battle of 144 games per team.

In addition, according to the principle of organizing the number of biennial home games, KT, SSG, Doosan, Lotte, and Hanwha will have 73 home games and LG, NC, KIA, Samsung and Kiwoom 71 home games in the 2025 season.



The All-Star Game will be held on July 12. The venue currently under public offering will be confirmed and announced later. What is different from last year is the extension of the All-Star break period, which was increased by two days from the previous four days to six days.

The existing four-day break was extended to the 6th by two days, reflecting the opinion of the team that full rest is not guaranteed for players participating in the All-Star Game. As a result, it is expected that the players will increase their concentration on the All-Star game and ensure a break in preparation for the second half of the year, thereby preventing injuries.

Accordingly, the second half of the year will start with four consecutive games by organizing the same matches as the opening two consecutive games from July 17 to 20.

In preparation for weather conditions such as extreme heat waves in summer, the period of doubleheader organization and the start time of the game have also been partially adjusted.

The opening time of games on Sundays and holidays in July and August will be delayed by one hour to 18 o'clock, and whether or not to adjust the game time after September will be discussed later in consideration of weather conditions. The non-organization period of the doubleheader has been extended from March and July and August to March and June 2 to August 31.

In addition, the organization of the second pitch (artificial turf stadium) during the hot season in July and August will be excluded.
