Tampa Bay Rays' 2025 Schedule Due to Weather Concerns
The Rays will play most early-season games at home but face a road-heavy schedule in summer after Hurricane Milton damaged Tropicana Field.
- The Tampa Bay Rays will play 47 of their first 59 games at Steinbrenner Field, their temporary outdoor home, to avoid Tampa's summer heat and rain.
- Hurricane Milton severely damaged Tropicana Field, leaving the Rays unable to return until 2026 at the earliest, if ever, according to reports.
- MLB rearranged six games, swapping home-and-away series with the Angels and Twins, to minimize weather disruptions in Tampa's summer months.
- The Rays will face a challenging stretch with 69 of their final 103 games on the road, including just eight home games in both July and August.
- The team is adapting to the outdoor venue by planning for pitching flexibility and expecting increased offensive output due to the hitter-friendly environment.
