What's the Baltimore Orioles' Schedule and How Do I Find Game Times?

The Baltimore Orioles play 81 home games annually at Camden Yards during Major League Baseball's regular season, which runs from late March or early April through September. Game times vary by day of the week and opponent: weekday games typically start at 7:05 p.m., Saturday games at 7:05 p.m., and Sunday games at 1:05 p.m., though occasional day games and special start times occur. The official MLB schedule and Camden Yards' website list exact dates, times, and opponent information each season.

Finding the Schedule

The most direct source is MLB.com's Baltimore Orioles schedule page, which shows all 162 games (81 home, 81 away) with kickoff times updated through the season. The team's official website, MLB.com/orioles, also displays the full schedule with ticket availability integrated into each game listing. If you prefer a physical copy, the Orioles distribute printed schedules at Camden Yards and partner retailers around Baltimore, though the digital version remains the authoritative reference since occasional weather delays or makeup games can shift times.

Weekend and holiday games are the most likely to deviate from standard start times. The Orioles occasionally schedule day games on Saturdays and Sundays, particularly for family-focused promotions or when they're part of nationally televised doubleheaders. Holiday games (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day) sometimes start earlier or later to accommodate broadcast schedules. These variations are published months in advance on the official site.

Season Timing and Ticket Availability

The regular season typically begins in late March or early April. The 2024 season opened March 28; the 2025 season begins March 27. This timing means planning a game requires checking the current year's schedule rather than assuming dates. Spring training games, held in Sarasota, Florida, run in late February and early March if you want to see the team before the regular season begins.

Ticket prices at Camden Yards vary significantly by opponent, day of the week, and game importance. A weekday game against a division rival or a contender typically costs more than a midweek game against a team near the bottom of the standings. Single-game tickets generally range from $15 to $100+ for premium seats or high-demand matchups, though exact prices depend on the specific contest. The Orioles' official ticketing system or Ticketmaster show real-time pricing for any given game.

Attendance and Stadium Logistics

Camden Yards, located at 333 West Camden Street in downtown Baltimore, holds approximately 45,000 fans. On weekday nights, attendance is often lighter than weekends, which can affect parking availability and concession wait times. Arriving two hours before game time on a weekday allows comfortable parking and entry; weekend games warrant arriving three hours early, especially for popular matchups.

The stadium is accessible by the Light Rail (Camden Station stop) and local bus routes, which is worth considering if parking downtown seems challenging. Game parking in the immediate area costs $15 to $25 depending on the lot; some remote lots offer cheaper alternatives with shuttle service.

Understanding the Regular Season Structure

The Baltimore Orioles' home schedule is distributed across six months, with a roughly even split between games against AL East division rivals (Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Blue Jays) and teams from other divisions. The AL East games tend to draw larger crowds and command higher ticket prices because division races drive fan interest late in the season.

The schedule does not repeat evenly across days of the week. Some weeks feature more home games than others, and the Orioles may play consecutive home games or have multi-day road stretches. This variation means checking the calendar week by week if you're planning multiple games.

Off-Season Considerations

Between early October and late March, the Orioles play no regular season games. However, Camden Yards hosts occasional events during this period, including college baseball games, soccer matches, and concerts. The venue's website lists non-baseball programming during the off-season if you want to visit during the winter months.

The team's official social media accounts and email newsletter provide schedule updates, promotional game announcements (discounted ticket nights, giveaway nights), and any last-minute changes. Signing up for these notifications is more reliable than relying on general search results, which may lag behind official updates.
