Will the KIA Tigers be able to defend their title in the 2025 Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) season? The KIA Tigers were crowned as the champions of the 2024 KBO season, having won 87 and drawn 2 of their 144 league baseball matches. And that was their first title in seven years.
While we talk about the KIA Tigers’ chances of retaining their title next season, it is important to know when the new season starts.
When will the 2025 Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) regular season start?
The 2024 Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) regular season started on March 23 and ended on October 1. As noticed, the ten teams played 144 baseball league matches each last season, and we normally expect the same number of matches to occur in the 2025 KBO regular season.
The 2025 Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) regular season has been confirmed to start on March 22, and that’s the earliest Opening Day in league history, while the start time for Sunday games during the dog days of the summer will be pushed back by sixty minutes. The 2025 KBO all-star game is due on July 12, and it is important to remind the readers that the Nanum All-Stars won the 2024 KBO all-star game against the Dream All-Stars, 4-2 on July 6.
What time will games on Sundays and Holidays start?
The KBO league matches normally start at 5 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, but the 2025 KBO league games on Sundays and holidays in July and August are now expected to occur one hour later (6 p.m.). In other months, matches on Sundays and holidays normally occur at 2 p.m., but the KBO league may push the matches to 6 pm as well, but this depends on weather conditions and other factors.
When are the 2025 Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) fixtures released?
The 2025 KBO league fixtures will be updated as soon as we receive information, but for now, let’s take a quick look at the ten teams that will compete for the 2025 Korean Baseball Organisation season; the Kia Tigers, Doosan Bears, Lotte Giants, NC Dinos, LG Twins, Hanwha Eagles, KT Wiz, Samsung Lions, SSG Landers, and the Kiwoom Heroes.
When will KBO schedule doubleheaders?
The KBO doubleheaders are not scheduled to take place in March, but rather from June 2 to August 21. Previously, the KBO league held doubleheaders in March.
When will the 2025 KBO Preseason start?
The 2024 KBO preseason lasted ten days, between March 9 and 19. Given this information, we can assume that the 2025 KBO preseason will commence around the second week of March and end in the third week.
Who are the favourites to win the 2025 KBO Regular Season?
The KIA Tigers won the 2024 KBO regular season. It is relatively understandable why they are considered one of the favourites to win the 2025 KBO regular season. They have won the competition a record 12 times in 45 attempts.
However, the likes of Samsung Lions, who finished as runners-up twice in four seasons, are considered one of the top guns to challenge for the KBO regular season honour. KT Wiz, who won the league in 2021, can also cause a fright next season.
