Washington Nationals' 2023 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 Washington Nationals' entire schedule for the 2023 Major League Baseball regular season.

The Washington Nationals are now less than two months away from Opening Day.

The Nationals will open the 2023 regular season at home against the Atlanta Braves. The Tampa Bay Rays will then come to town for a three-game series, before Washington hits the road to play the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field and the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.

For the first time ever, the Nationals 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. Nationals fans will get a chance to see American League stars Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge play in Washington D.C. next season.

The schedule change will also provide help to teams that play in hypercompetitive divisions. The Nationals play in an extremely competitive National League East. Both the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets won 101 games last year, while the third-place Philadelphia Phillies reached the World Series.

The downside to the change is it means that rivals will play each other less. The Nationals and the Phillies 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 early-August.

The Nationals are coming off a 55-107 season, in which they finished last in the National League East. Just a few years removed from their first World Series championship in franchise history, the Nationals appear to be in a rebuild, but hope to make some positive strides in 2023.

Here's a look at the Nationals' entire schedule for the 2023 season:

Ladies and gentlemen…
