The Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals will begin their 2023 seasons at Nationals Park on Thursday, March 30. The two NL East rivals are at very different places in the contention cycle right now. Washington is in the middle of a deep rebuild while Atlanta is a year removed from a World Series championship and poised to contend for another.

As part of MLB's new schedule, every team will play every other team at least once each season, and to make that work, division rivals will play each other 14 times a year rather than 19. For the Braves, that means fewer games against a weak Nationals team and more games against American League clubs. This will be the first of four series between Atlanta and Washington in 2023.
