The 2025 Congressional Baseball Game will take place on Wednesday, June 11 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT. The game will be televised on C-SPAN and Fox News.
Nationals Park has been home to the 2019 World Series champion Washington Nationals since its doors opened at the beginning of the 2008 season.
The CBG has been played since 1909 in the nation’s capital.
In the 2024 CBG, the Republicans defeated the Democrats 31-11, which kept their four-year winning streak alive.
The history of the Congressional Baseball Game and charities that support the event are listed here:
The Congressional Baseball Game took place in its past in 1909: American League Park II, 1911: Georgetown Field, 1912–1919: National Park, 1926–1957: Griffith Stadium, 1962–1968: D.C. Stadium, 1969–1972: RFK Stadium, 1973–1976: Memorial Stadium, 1977: Langley High School, 1978–1994: Four Mile Run Park, 1995–2004: Prince George’s Stadium, 2005–2007: RFK Stadium, and 2008–present: Nationals Park.
The Republican Party leads the CBG 46-42 over the Democratic Party.
The Congressional Baseball Game was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was the only year that the game was not played.
The Democratic Party also won 36-4 at the CBG over the Republican Party in 1928, which is the largest run margin.
With the event’s popularity growing over the years, the CBG evolved into its own foundation, Congressional Sports for Charity. The foundation provides support to Washington, D.C.-area charities and scholarships for local youth.
Congressional Sports for Charity supports the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, the Washington Nationals Philanthropies, and the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund.

Timmons Reflects on What the Game Means
Rep. William Timmons (SC), a former Air Force veteran and returning member of the Republican roster, holds the record for most runs scored in Congressional Baseball Game history. In a January interview with World Baseball Network, Timmons said, “The Congressional Baseball Game is a time-honored tradition, and I am proud to be on the Republican team. Last year, we raised over $2.2 million for local charities AND secured another GOP victory. I am looking forward to setting new records again this year.”
Timmons, 40, has played in the game every year since 2019 except for 2020 when the game was canceled due to the pandemic. “In a divisive town like Washington,” he said, “the Congressional Baseball Game is something that momentarily transcends political parties.”
