How Do I Find Out What Time the Baltimore Ravens Game Is Tonight?

Check the official NFL schedule on NFL.com or the Baltimore Ravens' official website (baltimoreravens.com). Game times vary by week and broadcast network, typically falling between 1 p.m. and 8:20 p.m. on Sundays during the regular season, with Monday and Thursday night games at 8:15 p.m. and 8:20 p.m. respectively. Your local Baltimore TV listings will confirm the specific channel.

Where to Check Game Times

The most reliable sources are:

NFL.com Schedule: The league posts all game times and broadcast assignments weekly. Times are confirmed by Tuesday of game week. Search "Baltimore Ravens" to filter their schedule alone.

baltimoreravens.com: The team's official site displays times under the Schedule tab and sends push notifications to app users when times are finalized or moved.

Local Baltimore TV: WJZ (CBS), WMAR (ABC), and WBAL (NBC) air Ravens games based on the NFL's weekly broadcast rotation. Your cable or streaming provider's guide will list which channel carries Sunday's game.

ESPN or Yahoo Sports apps: These aggregate NFL schedules in real time and adjust for any last-minute changes.

Why Game Times Change

The NFL does not announce all game times at the season's start. Prime-time slots (Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night) are typically locked in by early September, but afternoon games can shift as late as Tuesday before a Sunday game. Networks exercise their right to move games to maximize viewership, so a 1 p.m. start might move to 4:25 p.m. if the Ravens are in playoff contention and their opponent is strong.

During the Ravens' season, Baltimore's local broadcast is usually on CBS for 1 p.m. Sunday games, since the city falls in the CBS Eastern coverage zone. If the Ravens play at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, the game typically shifts to Fox. This matters if you're planning to watch at a bar or restaurant in Baltimore; not all venues have every channel.

Watching at M&T Bank Stadium

If you're planning to attend in person, gates open 90 minutes before kickoff. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster (the official partner) and resale platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek. The Ravens charge variable pricing; games against division rivals (Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals) and playoff-contention matchups cost more than early-season games against weaker opponents. You can expect $50 to $150 for upper-deck seats on average weekday games, rising to $200+ for primetime or rivalry games.

The stadium is located at 1101 Russell Street in downtown Baltimore, reachable by the Light Rail's Camden Station stop (about a 10-minute walk) or by car with parking available in nearby lots and garages.

Streaming Options in Baltimore

If you cut cable, several services carry Ravens games:

Amazon Prime Video: Broadcasts Thursday Night Football games, which occasionally feature the Ravens. No additional fee beyond Prime membership.

NFL+: The league's streaming service ($6.99/month or $69.99/year) streams local broadcasts to phones and tablets in your market. In Baltimore, you can stream any game airing on CBS, Fox, NBC, or ESPN locally.

YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo: These live TV streaming services carry CBS, Fox, and NBC, so your local Ravens broadcast will be available depending on which network has the game.

DirecTV Stream and Sling TV: Also carry local Baltimore channels, though Sling TV's base package ($40/month) includes only one of the three primary networks; check which carries Sunday's game before subscribing.

Pregame Timing for Game Day

Most fans arrive at M&T Bank Stadium 60 to 90 minutes early to park, tailgate in nearby lots, and clear security. Stadium security takes 15 to 20 minutes on average during peak arrival times (the hour before kickoff), longer on opening day or playoff games. Bring your ID and a ticket (physical or mobile). The stadium prohibits outside alcohol and glass containers but allows sealed food and empty reusable water bottles.

If watching from a Baltimore bar or restaurant, popular spots downtown and in Federal Hill fill up 45 minutes before kickoff on Sundays. Some require reservations for large groups during primetime games; call ahead if your party is more than four people.

Last-Minute Time Changes

The NFL's official rule: times for weeks 1 through 15 can move up to 12 days in advance; weeks 16 and 17 have different windows. Check baltimoreravens.com or your phone's NFL app on Tuesday mornings for any shifts. If you've already made travel or bar plans, calling the venue to confirm they'll show the game is worth a few minutes; a handful of smaller bars carry only certain networks.
