The Chicago Cubs' 2023 Official Regular Season Schedule

MLB schedules will look a bit different in 2023, as each team will play each other for the first time in baseball history. Here's a look at the Chicago Cubs' entire schedule for the 2023 Major League Baseball regular season.

The Chicago Cubs are now less than two months away from Opening Day.

The Cubs will open the 2023 regular season at home versus the Milwaukee Brewers. They will then travel to Cincinnati for a three-game series against the Reds, before hosting the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners.

For the first time ever, the Cubs 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. Cubs fans will get a chance to see Seattle Mariners star Julio Rodriguez play at Wrigley in April. Next year, Mike Trout's Angels will visit Wrigley.

The schedule change will also provide help to teams that play in hypercompetitive divisions. It will not aid teams like the Cubs, that might be playing in baseball's weakest division, the National League Central, in 2023. The Cubs are the third choice to win the NL Central according to the Fanduel gambling website. 

The downside to the change is it means that rivals will play each other less. The Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals 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 Cubs are coming off a 74-88 season in 2022. After an active offseason in which they signed free agents Dansby Swanson, Jameson Taillon, Tucker Barnhart, Cody Bellinger, Trey Mancini and Eric Hosmer, they hope to improve in 2023.
