St. Louis Cardinals' 2023 Official Regular Season Schedule

MLB schedules will look quite a bit different in 2023, as each team will play the 29 MLB teams for the first time in baseball history. Here's a look at the St. Louis Cardinals' entire schedule for the 2023 Major League Baseball regular season.

The St. Louis Cardinals are now less than two months away from Opening Day.

The Cardinals will open the season at home against the Toronto Blue Jays, before hosting the Atlanta Braves at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals will then go on the road to play a pair of three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies, before returning home to meet the Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks.

For the first time ever, the Cardinals will play a series against each of the other 29 Major League Baseball teams. All 30 teams will play a series against each other, for the first time in baseball history. The hope is that it will generate more fan interest, as star players from the opposite league will appear at the city's home ballpark every other year. Cardinals fans will get a chance to see Los Angeles Angels stars Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, when the Angels come to town in early May.

The schedule change will also provide help to teams that play in hypercompetitive divisions. It will not aid teams like the Cardinals, that might be playing in baseball's weakest division, the National League Central, in 2023.

The downside to the change is it means that rivals will play each other less. The Cardinals and Chicago Cubs used to play a minimum of 18 regular season games against each other. This season, they'll play each other 13 times, with their final series coming in late-July. The two rivals will not play each other once over the final two months of the season.

The Cubs will play the Cardinals in London June 24 and 25, for MLB's London Series.

The Cardinals are coming off a 93-69 win season in 2022, in which they won their second National League Central division title in four years. They hope to repeat as NL Central champs in 2023.
