| Date | Location | Score | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|

| May 17 | Wrigley Field | Cubs 7, Sox 3 | Cubs PCA had three more hits, including a triple, as the Cubs won 7–3 for their seventh straight Crosstown victory. Through the first two games of the series, Crow-Armstrong was 6-for-9 with seven RBI. |
| May 18 | Wrigley Field | Cubs 6, Sox 2 | Cubs The Cubs completed the Wrigley sweep with their eighth straight Crosstown victory and moved ahead 75–74 in the all-time regular-season series.

| July 25 | Rate Field | Sox 12, Cubs 5 | White Sox The Sox finally ended the Cubs' eight-game Crosstown winning streak—and did it emphatically. They battered Shota Imanaga for eight runs in three innings on the way to a 12–5 win. Colson Montgomery homered twice and drove in four. |
| July 26 | Rate Field | Cubs 6, Sox 1 | Cubs One day after the Sox scored 12, Cubs rookie Cade Horton shut them down. Horton threw six scoreless innings, allowing four hits, as the Cubs bounced back with a 6–1 win. Cubs rookie Cade Horton presumably heard Sox players saying, "Horton Who?" |
| July 27 | Rate Field | Cubs 5, Sox 4 | Cubs The Cubs built a 5–1 lead before Andrew Benintendi's three-run homer in the eighth suddenly made it 5–4. Daniel Palencia closed it out in the ninth as the Cubs took the South Side series 2–1 and finished the season series 5–1. |
2025 Series Notes
First year back to six games since 2021, and the Cubs made the most of it. The May series at Wrigley was a beatdown — Cubs outscored the Sox 26-8 across three games and swept the series to extend their Crosstown win streak to eight straight.
Pete Crow-Armstrong was the story of that May series: eight hits, nine RBI across three games. He was simply a different caliber of player than anything the Sox could put out there.
In July, the Sox showed some life — they blew out the Cubs 12-5 in the opener to snap the 8-game losing streak. But the Cubs took the next two to win the series 2-1 and finish 5-of-6 for the year.
The Cubs entered 2026 with a two-game all-time lead: 77-75.
