World Series
The World Series is the premier event of the Major League Baseball season. Taking place in late October or early November each year, the Series pits the winner of the National League against the winner of the American League. Whichever team gets to four wins during the best-of-seven series will claim the Commissioner's Trophy.
The first World Series took place in 1903, with the AL's Boston Americans (later to become the Red Sox) defeating the NL's Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three in what was a best-of-nine series. The event has been held each year since, except for 1904 and 1994. As of the end of the 2024 MLB season, the team with the most World Series victories is the New York Yankees, with 27. Also as of the 2024 season, every current team has made at least one World Series appearance, except for the Seattle Mariners.
The dates of the 2025 Series won't become known until later on in the year. The locations of the two cities also won't be known until the conclusion of both the American League Championship Series and the National League Championship Series.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
Modern stadiums aren't just places to host baseball games. Many feature sections like fan zones, have activities for kids, offer tons of food concessions, and hold stadium tours. Find out more about the two stadiums set to host the World Series when the NL and AL champs advance.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
It's also typical for stadiums to offer lost-and-found services, first aid, services for those with disabilities, interpreters, assistive technologies, and other amenities.
LOCATION
Unless it's a market like New York with teams in both the AL and NL, the location for the World Series will consist of two different cities. The team with the better regular season winning percentage will host up to four games at its home stadium; their opponent will host up to three games. The Series schedule is a 2-3-2 format, with the first and last two games at the team with home-field advantage and the middle three games at the team that doesn't have home field.
RVING AT THE EVENT
Major League Baseball stadiums don't have RV camping options on-site. However, you should be able to find campgrounds in teams' cities or nearby in the suburbs.
If you love the game, you don't have to wait until the 2025 World Series to come around. Each team plays a regular season schedule of 162 games, so no matter what team you root for, you should be able to find tickets to doubleheaders or two-, three-, or four-game series.
This summer, try out an RV road trip to some MLB cities. The Cubs and Cardinals have been fierce rivals for decades; see the Cubs at Wrigley Field and the Cardinals at Busch Stadium on a Chicago to St. Louis road trip. If you're visiting Los Angeles, check to see if both the Dodgers and the Angels are in town; if the schedules line up, you could see both on the same trip.
If you want to escape the winter blahs and head to somewhere warm, check out MLB's Spring Training in March. Fifteen teams play baseball's version of preseason in the Cactus League in Arizona. The other 15 teams play in Florida's Grapefruit League. Game tickets are often cheaper and easier to come by than regular season games.
WHERE TO STAY
Stadiums for many teams are in downtown areas of cities; as such, lodging properties nearby may not have parking for RVs or larger vehicles. As soon as the two teams scheduled to face off in the World Series are known, you can search for accommodations. Note that you might get better deals on hotels located in suburbs or outside of city downtowns.
HOW TO GET THERE
Once you know which teams will square off in the World Series, you'll be able to prepare driving directions to the stadiums.
PARKING
Teams typically charge a lot for game-day parking. Check with the specific team or stadium for any RV parking rules. You might be better off leaving your vehicle at your campground or hotel and taking the subway, light rail, or commuter rail service into a city for easier access.

WRAP UP
Pick up your RV rental, plan your road trip, and then take yourself and your family out to the ballgame to celebrate America's Pastime. If it's your team playing in the World Series, even better!
