How Do I Find the Baltimore Ravens Game Time for Sunday?
The easiest way to check Sunday's Ravens kickoff time is to visit NFL.com or the official Baltimore Ravens website (baltimoreravens.com), where the full schedule and any time changes appear each week. Most Ravens home games at M&T Bank Stadium kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sundays, but prime-time games air at 4:25 p.m. or 8:20 p.m. Time slots shift based on TV ratings, playoff positioning, and network scheduling, so the posted time in early September may not match Week 12.
Why Game Times Change During the Season
The NFL's scheduling flexibility rule allows networks to move Sunday afternoon games as late as 12 days before kickoff if a matchup gains national relevance. The Ravens, as an AFC North team with a large regional fanbase, often appear in late-window (4:25 p.m.) or Sunday night (8:20 p.m.) slots, especially against division rivals like the Pittsburgh Steelers or Cleveland Browns. Preseason games, held in August, typically start at 7 or 7:30 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium.
Check the official Ravens schedule two weeks before game day to lock in your time, as this is when most moves are finalized. If you're planning to attend in person, the M&T Bank Stadium box office (410-261-RAVE) can confirm current kickoff times and ticket availability, or you can purchase through Ticketmaster.
Understanding Local Broadcasting
Sundays in the Baltimore area split between CBS (which typically carries AFC games, including the Ravens' home contests) and FOX. Check your local TV listing or the Ravens website Sunday morning to confirm which channel carries that week's game. The Ravens play 8 home games per season; away games may air on different networks depending on opponent designation.
If you're outside Maryland but want to watch, NFL+ (the league's streaming service) offers live local games, though blackout rules apply to out-of-market broadcasts. The game audio streams on WJZ 105.7 FM in Baltimore and on the Ravens app.
Attending Games at M&T Bank Stadium
M&T Bank Stadium is located at 1 M&T Bank Stadium Drive in downtown Baltimore's Inner Harbor neighborhood, a 10-minute walk from the Light Rail. Parking is available in nearby garages (typically $15 to $25) and in the stadium's own lot. Gates open 90 minutes before kickoff; arriving early allows time to navigate security and grab concessions.
Ticket prices vary widely by opponent and seat location. Division games and playoff contests cost significantly more than non-division matchups. Secondary market prices on Ticketmaster, StubHub, or SeatGeek often undercut face value mid-week. Ravens season ticket holders receive the lowest base prices but resell on secondary platforms regularly, especially for less popular matchups.
Planning for Weather and Season Length
The NFL regular season runs 17 weeks, running from September through early January. September and October games in Baltimore are warm (70s to 80s F); by November, afternoon games can be cold and windy, especially in upper-deck sections at M&T Bank. Dress in layers and bring a jacket. December games are often in the 30s to 40s F. Playoff games, if the Ravens qualify, take place in January.
Preseason games (August) are not counted toward playoff seeding and are often used to evaluate roster depth, so crowd attendance and ticket availability are higher than regular-season games. These are a budget-friendly way to watch live football and see younger players.
Checking for Last-Minute Changes
Weather, player injuries, or other logistics occasionally cause minor delays or schedule adjustments. An hour before game time, confirm the kickoff through the Ravens app, local news, or NFL.com. This is especially important for evening games, where weather changes can be sudden in Maryland winters.
