The MLB game will be played on Aug. 22, 2025. The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves will compete in the MLB Speedway Classic next season at Bristol Motor Speedway, Major League Baseball announced Friday.
The regular-season game, which will be played on Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025, will be the first contested in the state of Tennessee. The following day is an off date for both teams and can be used as a potential makeup day should inclement weather arise.
"Major League Baseball is excited to deliver a special game at Bristol Motor Speedway, a unique setting that sports fans will remember forever," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said.
"The Reds and the Braves form an ideal matchup because of their dynamic talent and the proximity of their markets. We look forward to celebrating our game with a wide array of fans, both on and off the field throughout the weekend, and highlighting the rich traditions of sports, music and community in Tennessee and across the region."
Per MLB, a baseball diamond will be built across the track and infield.
The venue played host to a Tennessee-Virginia Tech football game in 2016. That game drew 156,990 fans, a record for an NCAA football game.
