Sport fans rejoice! It’s Monday! The 2025 Sports Equinox, in which MLB action, NBA action, NFL action, and NHL action all overlap on a single day, arrives. This is the only day in the calendar when the four major North American professional sport leagues are active. It’s because we are at the end of MLB’s postseason and the start of NBA, NHL and NFL seasons. Sports Reference reports that this is only the 32nd Sports Equinox in history, and the first one since October 28, 2024. The Sports Equinox will fall on Monday for the third consecutive year in 2025. This will also be the only time that this event will occur on a monday. The only other days of the week these have ever fallen on have been Thursdays, with seven, and Sundays, with 20, including the first one back on Oct. 17, 1971.2025 Sports Equinox scheduleAll times EasternMLB: Dodgers vs. Blue Jays — World Series Game 3, 8 p.m. on FoxNFL: Commanders at Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. on ABC/ESPNNHL:Blues at Penguins, 7 p.m. on NHL NetworkBruins at Senators, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN+NBA:Cavaliers at Pistons, 7 p.m. on PeacockMagic at 76ers, 7 p.m. on NBA League PassHawks at Bulls, 8 p.m. on NBA League PassNets at Rockets, 8 p.m. on NBA League PassCeltics at Pelicans, 8 p.m. on NBA League PassRaptors at Spurs, 8 p.m. on NBA League PassThunder at Mavericks, 8:30 p.m. on NBA League PassSuns at Jazz, 9 p.m. on NBA League PassNuggets at Timberwolves, 9:30 p.m. on PeacockGrizzlies at Warriors, 10 p.m. on NBA League PassTrail Blazers at Lakers, 10:30 p.m. on NBA League PassHow to plan out your sports-watching eveningYes, it’s a lot of sports. We’d rather have a good amount of sports than not enough every day. So, here are some tips on how you can catch the best Monday has to show. Make sure to have multiple screens.
Before the night gets crazy, you should watch some NHL games on your TV. The Penguins have a great start to the season thanks to their legendary Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin pair. Malkin is the league leader with 12 assists and has two goals in nine games. Crosby’s stats are six goals and five assist. Pittsburgh is 6-2-1, and hasn’t made the playoffs in 2022. Also, don’t forget to watch some NBA. Pistons vs. Cavaliers on Peacock is a great match, but don’t forget about 76ers vs. Magic. All four teams will be in the mix in an Eastern Conference that is wide open. Why? You may be familiar with Shohei Ohtani. He is the Los Angeles leadoff hitter. It’s a must-see to see his plate appearances.
It’s the World Series, after all. If you are looking for an alternative to the World Series, Chiefs vs. The Commanders game is a good choice. Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas quarterback who is taking Kansas to new heights in place of Washington’s Jayden Daniels City. Rashee rice scored two touchdowns on his debut for the Chiefs after a 31-0 victory over the Raiders. Marcus Mariota will replace Daniels in Washington. He has performed well in his two starts so far this season. Victor Wembanyama makes for a great watch. Just watch the highlights from his 40-point opening season. He looks like a cheat-code.
Keep the baseball and football games on, as long as they are good. If you’re not feeling one of those and have the capability, hop back to one of those early NBA games, which will be coming down to crunch time.Once those finish up, be sure to tune into Timberwolves-Nuggets. The two teams have a great history. In 2023 the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves in just five games during the first round. Last year, the Timberwolves stunned the reigning champions in seven games during the second round. Nikola Jokić vs. Anthony Edwards. Late nightAfter MLB, and most of the NBA slate is over, Chiefs-Commanders, will be well into its second half. But there are plenty of NBA stars to top off your night. Stephen Curry’s Warriors host Ja Morant’s Girzzlies, and Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and the Lakers face the Trail Blazers to finish off a busy night.
