Spring training is just around the corner, Reds fans. The trucks have already been packed and are making a bee line for the desert. Next week, pitchers and catchers will report to Goodyear and the Cincinnati Reds fanbase will get their first look at the team under new manager Terry Francona.
While there are sure to be a handful of Cactus League games made available through the Reds' new TV deal with FanDuel Sports Network, there's no better way to take in the sights and sounds spring training than being there in person.
Though not always easy, getting out to Arizona should be on every Reds' fans bucket list. You'll be able to experience a more intimate setting while watching some of your favorite Reds players, along with future stars, battle it out on the diamond as they all attempt to make an impression with the new coaching staff.
Reds spring training tickets: How to attend games in 2025
The Reds and Cleveland Guardians split the slate of Cactus League games at Goodyear Ballpark. The two franchises share the complex throughout the months of February and March, and venue will host this year's Spring Breakout game between the Guardians and Seattle Mariners.
Goodyear Ballpark is home to the Reds' Cactus League Opener against the Guardians with a promotional giveaway that includes a spring training blanket handed out the first 1,500 fans. The teams will play twice more during the month of March with a St. Patrick's Day giveaway on March 17th and before wrapping up Cactus League play on March 23rd with a leather coaster giveaway.

Goodyear Ballpark can seat more than 8,000 fans and tickets to spring training games can only be purchased online. Prices range from $15 for a spot on the berm to $44 for premium seats behind home plate.
The Reds will play a total of 16 games at Goodyear Ballpark before making their way back to the Buckeye State for a showdown with the Dayton Dragons. Then it's back home to Cincinnati for the Opening Day festivities that will begin on Thursday, March 27th with the Findlay Market Parade. The Reds will begin the season later that day against the San Francisco Giants as Cincinnati is looking to ride the wave of young and talented players back to the postseason for the first time since 2020.
Get out to Goodyear if you can, Reds fans. Other teams' Arizona complexes and venues are relatively close to Goodyear Ballpark, meaning you can even take a road trip with the Reds to places like American Family Fields in Phoenix, Camelback Ranch in Glendale, and Sloan Park in Mesa.
