2025 Crosstown Classic: Final meeting is Sunday at Rate Field, all-time series could be tied going into 2026

CHICAGO — The 2025 edition of the Crosstown Classic concludes on Sunday afternoon at Rate Field on the South Side.

With a victory, the White Sox can secure a series win in their hosting half of this year’s Crosstown Classic — and tie the all-time series going into the 2026 edition.

The Cubs surged into the all-time series lead when they completed a three-game sweep of the White Sox in the Wrigley Field portion of this year’s Crosstown Classic back in mid-May. That ran the North Siders’ winning streak over the South Siders to a franchise-record eight games, going back to their final meeting of 2023.

It also gave the Cubs a one-game series lead in the all-time Crosstown Classic.

The White Sox struck back with a vengeance on Friday night at Rate Field to kick off the second half of the 2025 edition, bashing four homers on their way to a 12-5 victory, which snapped their Crosstown Classic losing streak and evened up the all-time series, 75-75, through 150 games.

But the Cubs refused to give the all-time lead back, seizing it again at 76-75 with a 6-1 victory on Saturday. And that also clinched the 2025 Crosstown Classic series win for the North Siders.

The teams play the sixth and final game of this season’s series at 1:10 p.m. Sunday.
