How Do I Find Today's Baltimore Orioles Game Time?
The Baltimore Orioles play at Camden Yards in downtown Baltimore, and game times vary by day and opponent. Check MLB.com's official schedule, the Orioles' website (MLB.com/orioles), or call the Camden Yards box office at 410-685-9800 to confirm today's start time. Most weekday games begin at 7:05 p.m., while weekend games typically start at 1:05 p.m. or 7:05 p.m. depending on broadcast requirements. Night games may shift to 7:35 p.m. during certain stretches of the season.
Why Game Times Vary Throughout the Season
Baseball schedules are built around television contracts and travel logistics. The Orioles, as part of Major League Baseball's American League East, have games broadcast on different networks: some air on MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, the regional carrier), others on FOX, ESPN, or MLB Network nationally. Each broadcaster has preferred start times. FOX tends to push weekend games to early afternoon (1:05 p.m.) or later evening (7:05 p.m.) slots, while weeknight games flex between 7:05 and 7:35 p.m. depending on whether the network requires national coverage.
Additionally, the Orioles' schedule includes road trips where games are played in other cities at times determined by the visiting ballpark's local norms. When the team is home at Camden Yards, you always have a fixed venue, but the start time can shift week to week.
Where to Check the Schedule with Certainty
The official MLB.com schedule is the primary source. Use the Orioles' team page filter to see all remaining games, including time, opponent, and broadcast information. The Camden Yards box office phone line (410-685-9800) is staffed during business hours and can answer same-day questions if the website isn't loading or you need immediate confirmation.
For season ticket holders and frequent visitors, the Orioles' mobile app and email newsletters often alert fans to schedule changes, rain delays, or postponements the same day they occur.
Buying Tickets and Planning Ahead
Tickets for Orioles games are sold through MLB.com's official ticketing portal, StubHub, and the Camden Yards box office. Weekday games in April and May typically have lower demand and cheaper tickets; July, August, and September games against division rivals (New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays) sell faster and cost more. Weekend games and Friday night matchups are priced higher year-round.
If you're attending for the first time, arrive at least 45 minutes early to navigate parking and entry. Camden Yards' parking lots fill quickly on game days, though public lots on Eutaw Street offer overflow options. The ballpark is accessible by the Maryland MTA's Light Rail (Camden Station stop, on the Green and Red lines), which often has fewer delays than driving on game day.
What to Know About Rain and Postponements
If weather threatens, check the Orioles' Twitter feed and MLB.com starting three hours before game time. The team will announce postponements or delays through those channels. If a game is postponed, it's typically rescheduled as part of a doubleheader later in the season, and ticket holders are notified via email about makeup dates and their options to transfer or request refunds.
Day Games vs. Night Games: Planning Considerations
Weekday day games (which occur occasionally) start at 1:05 p.m. and are often geared toward families or fans who cannot attend evening games. Night games last until 10 p.m. or later, depending on the length of play and any extra innings. Camden Yards' location in downtown Baltimore means that after evening games, the surrounding neighborhoods (Fells Point, Harbor East, Federal Hill) have restaurants and bars open late, making it easy to extend the outing.
Related Questions
Can I find out the Orioles' schedule months in advance? Yes. MLB.com publishes the full season schedule in November, including all game dates and times (though times may shift for broadcast reasons closer to the games). You can plan vacations or trips around series your family wants to attend.
What's the difference between games on MASN and nationally broadcast games? MASN games are viewable primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and parts of Pennsylvania) on cable and satellite TV. Nationally broadcast games on FOX, ESPN, or MLB Network reach all U.S. markets and are often scheduled against rival teams; these games sometimes have different start times to accommodate prime-time viewing windows.
Do I need a ticket to watch from outside Camden Yards? No. Oriole Park at Camden Yards allows standing room outside the warehouse entrance on Eutaw Street during games, free of charge. You'll hear and occasionally see play, though this standing-room area fills on popular game days and offers no seating or concessions.
