The Orioles announced that weeknight games in 2024 will begin at 6:35, and Saturday games will begin at 4:05.
In 2023, weeknight games before Memorial Day and after Labor Day began at 6:35.
The Orioles had increased the number of 4:05 p.m. Saturday starts in recent years, and now all but one will begin in the afternoon.
Friday night games will continue to be played at 7:05, and Sunday games at 1:35.
The Orioles increased the number of weekday afternoon games last season, and they’re increasing the number to 10 in 2024.
Currently, the only exceptions to the schedule will be a Saturday start of 7:15 against Texas on June 29th, and a Thursday start of 7:15 against Houston on August 22nd. Both games are scheduled to be shown on FOX.
ESPN has yet to announce its Sunday night schedule, so it’s possible that some Sunday home games will be shifted to evening starts.
Opening Day is March 28th against the Los Angeles Angels at 3:05. Other weekday afternoon games are April 3rd (Kansas City), April 17th (Minnesota), May 3rd (New York), May 15th (Toronto), May 27th (Boston), June 13th (Atlanta), July 31st (Toront0), September 2nd (Chicago White Sox) and September 19th (San Francisco).
The games against Toronto will start at 12:35. With the exception of Opening Day, the others begin at 1:05.
Birdland memberships go on sale on Thursday at 10 a.m.
