OAKLAND, Calif.—The Athletics will leave Oakland after this season and play temporarily at a minor-league ballpark near Sacramento until their planned new stadium in Las Vegas is built.

The A’s on Thursday announced the decision to play at the home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats from 2025-27, with an option for 2028, after failing to reach an agreement to extend their lease in Oakland during that time.
