Spring Training Details
As always, the Reds will head to Arizona for their spring training, where they will spend several weeks preparing for the regular season. The team will train at the Goodyear Ballpark, a state-of-the-art facility located in Goodyear, Arizona.

The Reds’ 2025 spring training will begin on February 24th, when pitchers and catchers are set to report. The full squad will follow on February 27th. The team will play its first exhibition game on February 29th, marking the official start of the spring schedule.
Spring training games will run through the end of March, with the Reds scheduled to face off against various teams in the Cactus League. The Reds’ spring training schedule will include matchups against other major league clubs, giving fans the chance to see both established stars and rising prospects in action.
Key Storylines to Watch
There are several key storylines to follow as the Reds prepare for the 2025 season.
