Here is a comprehensive summary of the 2025 Chicago Cubs season:

The 2025 Chicago Cubs season, their 154th overall and 110th at Wrigley Field, began with a loss to the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB Tokyo Series on March 18 and concluded with a strong 92–70 record, finishing second in the NL Central behind the Milwaukee Brewers. After their best start since their 2016 World Series year (37–22), the Cubs clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 on September 17, and then won their first postseason series since 2017 by defeating the San Diego Padres in the Wild Card Series. They ultimately fell to the top-seeded Brewers in the Division Series, losing 3–2 in the first-ever postseason matchup of the I-94 rivalry. Key highlights included Shota Imanaga as the Opening Day starter, a two-game sweep by the Dodgers in Tokyo, and a breakout performance from Miguel Amaya, who drove in five runs in the home opener against the Diamondbacks. The offseason saw major coaching changes, including the firing of hitting coach Jim Adduci and the hiring of Dustin Kelly, while the team drew an average home attendance of 37,259, the 6th-highest in MLB. This successful campaign marked a significant rebound from their 83–79 finish in 2024, breaking a four-year playoff drought.
