Last Friday, Major League Baseball made an exciting announcement regarding a unique event set for the upcoming season. Bristol Motor Speedway, a renowned venue in the world of motorsports, will host a regular season game featuring the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds. This highly anticipated matchup, dubbed the MLB Speedway Classic ’25, is scheduled for August 2, 2025, and will mark the conclusion of a three-game series between these two teams.
This game adds to the growing trend of Major League Baseball hosting events in unconventional locations, following in the footsteps of the memorable Field of Dreams game in 2021 and the recent game held at Rickwood Field in Birmingham earlier this year. Notably, this event will also be historic as it represents the first Major League Baseball game ever played in the state of Tennessee.
For those eager to attend this landmark occasion, presale tickets will be available starting in September, while general ticket sales for the public will commence in December. Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for this momentous event that promises to blend the excitement of baseball with the unique atmosphere of a motorsports venue.
