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.
