How Do I Find Out When the Baltimore Ravens Play?

The Baltimore Ravens' regular season schedule is released each May by the NFL and posted on Ravens.com and NFL.com. Regular season games run September through early January, with most home games played at M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore on Sundays or Monday nights. Check the official Ravens website for exact kickoff times, as these are finalized closer to each game and vary between 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 8 p.m. ET depending on broadcast demand.

Where to Check the Schedule

The Ravens' official website (Ravens.com) displays the full season schedule with opponent, date, time, and ticket availability. The schedule typically breaks down into home games played in Baltimore and away games played at opponent stadiums. Preseason games begin in August and are also listed on the same schedule. If you want automatic updates, the Ravens app sends notifications for schedule releases, ticket sales, and game reminders.

NFL.com provides the schedule as well and includes fantasy football implications and betting lines. ESPN and local Baltimore sports media outlets (WBAL-TV 11, 98 Rock) also cover Ravens games extensively, which is useful if you want preview coverage or postgame analysis.

Season Ticket vs. Single Game Tickets

The Ravens offer full season packages (17 regular season games) ranging widely in price depending on seat location, with premium seating near the field or in club sections costing significantly more than upper-deck seats. Single game tickets are sold separately through Ticketmaster and the Ravens official ticket site once the schedule is released. Prices vary dramatically by opponent. Games against division rivals like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, or Cleveland Browns typically cost more than matchups against non-division teams. Playoff games, if the Ravens qualify, are separate ticket events released only if those games occur.

M&T Bank Stadium holds approximately 71,000 people. Weekday evening games and weekend games during the season draw different crowd sizes. Monday night games are typically well-attended by local fans but can have higher ticket prices than mid-week games or less popular opponents.

When Games Are Actually Played

The NFL schedule follows a predictable weekly pattern: most games occur on Sunday afternoons (typically 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. ET), with select games on Sunday night (8:20 p.m. ET), Monday night (8:15 p.m. ET), or Thursday night (8:15 p.m. ET). A few games may air on Friday or Saturday depending on holiday scheduling. The Ravens' exact slot depends on their record and national broadcast demand, so not all times are set until weeks before each game.

Preseason games (four total, played in August) have different attendance expectations and lower ticket costs than regular season games. Many season ticket holders skip preseason games, meaning more single tickets become available.

The playoff schedule is not set until the regular season ends in early January. If the Ravens qualify, playoff games are added sequentially: Wild Card round (mid-January), Divisional round (late January), Conference Championship (early February), and the Super Bowl (early February). Home playoff games would be played at M&T Bank Stadium.

Ticket Sales and Availability

Individual game tickets typically go on sale in late July or early August, with a presale period for season ticket holders before the general public sale. High-demand opponents (Steelers, Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs) sell out faster. Lower-demand games may have tickets available until game day. Ticketmaster charges service fees on top of the face ticket price, typically 15 to 25% depending on face value.

Secondary market resellers (StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats) often have cheaper or more expensive tickets than face value, depending on how close the game is and current team performance. Prices often drop the week of a game if demand is soft, but this is not guaranteed.

Stadium Logistics

M&T Bank Stadium is located at 1 M&T Bank Stadium Way in downtown Baltimore, with parking available in adjacent lots and garages. Game day traffic around the Inner Harbor and Pratt Street can be heavy on Sunday afternoons; arriving two to three hours early is common for popular games. Public transit via the Maryland Area Regional Commuter (MARC) and Light Rail is an alternative if you're traveling from outside Baltimore.

Gates typically open 90 minutes before kickoff. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid parking congestion and security lines.
