How Do I Find Out What Time the Baltimore Ravens or Orioles Play Tonight?
The Baltimore Ravens (NFL) play fall and winter games on the schedule released each May by the NFL; check the Ravens' official website or ESPN for tonight's kickoff time, typically 1 p.m., 4 p.m., or 8 p.m. ET on game days. The Baltimore Orioles (MLB) play March through October; their game times vary by day of week and broadcaster, ranging from 1 p.m. matinees to 7 p.m. evening starts, viewable on MLB.com or the Orioles' official site. Neither team plays every night, so confirming a game is scheduled is the first step.
The Ravens season runs September through January, with 17 regular-season games plus playoffs. The NFL publishes the full schedule on nfl.com and each team's website by early May each year. Kickoff times are set months in advance but may shift for national broadcasts; prime-time slots (Thursday, Sunday, or Monday night) are locked in early, while afternoon games can be flexed to different time slots up to 12 days before game day if they involve playoff implications or marquee matchups. M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens' home at 1101 Russell Street in downtown Baltimore, holds these games.
The Orioles play 162 games per season, a much longer schedule with games almost every day from late March through early October. Game times depend on the day of the week and TV rights: weekday day games often start at 1:05 p.m., while evening games begin at 7:05 p.m. Weekend games frequently start at 1:35 p.m. or 7:05 p.m. The Orioles' official website lists the full season schedule with times; ESPN, MLB.com, and local Baltimore news outlets also carry this information. Oriole Park at Camden Yards, located at 333 West Camden Street, is the team's home ballpark.
To check for tonight specifically, visit MLB.com, Ravens.com, or ESPN.com and search for today's date. Both sites display whether a game is scheduled and its start time. If you want to attend, ticket availability and pricing vary widely: Ravens single-game tickets typically range from $45 to $300+ depending on opponent and seat location; Orioles tickets generally range from $15 to $150+. The team websites' ticket portals show real-time pricing and availability.
Local radio stations WQSR (97.9) and WIYY (98 Rock) broadcast Ravens games; WBAL (1090 AM) and WQSR carry Orioles broadcasts. These stations announce game times and provide pregame coverage starting several hours before kickoff. If you're in Baltimore and want to watch or listen in a bar or restaurant, most sports establishments in Federal Hill, Fells Point, and Canton neighborhoods near both stadiums show games on multiple screens.
The Ravens' home games draw crowds that fill the 71,008-seat M&T Bank Stadium regularly during competitive seasons, with parking in downtown lots averaging $15 to $40 depending on lot location and how early you arrive. The Orioles typically draw smaller crowds than the Ravens but still see strong attendance during winning seasons or against rival teams like the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees.
One practical point: if a Ravens game is scheduled for Sunday afternoon and a late-window time slot (typically 1 p.m. ET) is not yet confirmed, check the NFL's official flexing announcements on Wednesday or Thursday of that week. These changes rarely affect Ravens games in prime time or with high stakes, but early-season games against less popular opponents may move or lock in late.
For playoff games, the schedule is determined by the NFL playoff bracket, announced in early January. Playoff games are always televised nationally and have fixed start times set by the league, not subject to flexing.
