The St. Louis Cardinals are gearing up for their 28th Spring Training in Jupiter, Florida, as they prepare for the 2025 season. The first key date on the calendar is Tuesday, February 11, when pitchers and catchers report to camp. Their first on-field workout will take place the following day, Wednesday, February 12. The rest of the team will arrive shortly after, with the first full-squad workout scheduled for Monday, February 17.
Before the players even take the field, an important tradition kicks off the preseason— the team’s equipment trucks will depart Busch Stadium for Jupiter on Tuesday, February 4. These trucks will carry everything from uniforms and training gear to medical supplies and baseball essentials needed for the six-week preparation period.
Spring Training marks a crucial time for the Cardinals, as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season. With an emphasis on youth development and key veterans like Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras leading the way, the team hopes to build chemistry and set the tone for a competitive season. Fans can expect to see emerging stars and established players alike working to secure their spots for Opening Day.
The Cardinals unveiled their 2025 schedule on July 18, 2024. For one of the rare times in the past decade, they will kick off the regular season at home, hosting the Minnesota Twins on Opening Day, March 27, at Busch Stadium, which enters its 20th season.
