As the Philadelphia Phillies look to rebound from the team’s disappointing early playoff exit at the hands of the rival New York Mets, it’s time for Phillies fans to start thinking baseball.
With Spring Training right around the corner, single-game tickets will go on sale starting Friday, Jan. 24. Here’s how fans without season plans can get tickets for the 2025 season.
Starting at 10 a.m., fans can start purchasing single-game tickets to home games at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies are selling tickets to all 81 home games on the team’s website.
The Phillies will open the 2025 season in Washington against the Nationals on March 27.
The season officially opens with the Tokyo Series on March 18-19 in Tokyo, Japan. The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the Chicago Cubs in the series.
The Phillies will hold their home opener at Citizen Bank Park on March 31. The Phillies will open against the Colorado Rockies.
Philadelphia’s first home weekend series will be April 4-6 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Phillies will be at home on Easter Sunday and Independence Day.
Among the 2025 season highlights are a weekend series against the New York Mets June 20-22, a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox July 21-23, and a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles Aug. 4-6.
MLB’s Rivalry Weekend on May 16-18 will feature interleague and non-interleague rivalries. The Phillies will host their cross-state rival Pittsburgh Pirates.
The 2025 All-Star Game will be July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta.
Truist Park opened in 2017, taking over Turner Field, which hosted Atlanta’s prior All-Star Game in 2000. This will be the third Atlanta ballpark to host a Midsummer Classic.
While the MLB is trying to get divisional rivals to face off to help decide the division during the season’s final weekend, the Phillies will not be part of that effort. The Phillies close the season at home, facing the Minnesota Twins.

DOVER — Following decisive wins in both preliminary legs, Primo Maschio dug deep to head off Lew Not Lou for a 1:52.3 triumph in the $110,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund (DSBF) series championship for 3-year-old male pacers on Thursday, Dec. 18, at Bally’s Dover.
Primo Maschio and driver Trae Porter landed second-over on the first turn behind Shore Not Beach (driven by Pat Berry), who worked to clear early leader Lew Not Lou (Jason Thompson) for the lead at the end of a :27 first quarter. Left uncovered off the first turn, Primo Maschio drove on to assume control of the terms with a circuit to go, and the Badlands Hanover-Primadonna gelding rolled to the half in :55.
Up the backstretch and through the far turn, Primo Maschio faced sustained pressure from Lew Not Lou, who re-emerged from third to force a :28.2 third quarter and pose an even bigger threat off the home turn.
“I was a little worried,” said Porter of Lew Not Lou taking aim at Primo Maschio off the corner. “He got to my saddle pad, but as soon as we got to the top of the stretch, my colt dug in deeper. He’s such a nice horse.”
Primo Maschio kept Lew Not Lou a neck at bay while Shore Not Beach stayed on from the pocket to finish third, just a length shy of the top pair.
Walter Callahan trains Primo Maschio, now a 19-time winner with $414,618 in earnings from 27 career starts, for Forrest Bartlett. As the overwhelming 1-10 favorite, Primo Maschio paid $2.20 to win.
