How Can I Find Out Who Baltimore's Teams Played Today?

The easiest way is to check the official websites for the Baltimore Ravens (NFL), Baltimore Orioles (MLB), or Baltimore Blast (indoor soccer), which post game schedules and live scores. For the Ravens and Orioles, ESPN and the teams' mobile apps also provide real-time updates. Local sports radio stations 105.7 The Fan and WQSR carry live broadcasts and postgame analysis, and The Baltimore Sun publishes same-day coverage of professional and collegiate games involving Baltimore-area teams.

Finding Today's Games for Baltimore's Professional Teams

The Ravens play an 17-game regular season from September through January, with games typically on Sunday, Monday night, or Thursday night. The Orioles play 162 games from late March through September or October. Both teams' official websites display schedules and can be filtered by date. If you prefer not to search online, calling the Ravens' ticket office (410-261-7283) or the Orioles' ticket office (410-685-9800) will confirm whether a game is scheduled today and provide ticket availability.

The Baltimore Blast, based at the Chesapeake Bank Arena in Owings Mills (about 20 minutes northwest of downtown), plays indoor soccer from November through March. Their schedule appears on the team's website and on the official Major Arena Soccer League site.

For college sports, the University of Maryland Terrapins and Johns Hopkins University field teams that often compete near Baltimore. Maryland's games are listed on their athletic department website; Johns Hopkins, historically strong in lacrosse, posts schedules on its athletics portal. Both universities occasionally hold games at on-campus facilities accessible to the public.

Using Local Sports Media for Live Updates

105.7 The Fan broadcasts Ravens and Orioles games live and offers play-by-play commentary during breaks. The station also covers high school football on Friday nights during the fall season, which draws significant local interest. WQSR, the Orioles' flagship radio station, carries every regular-season game.

The Baltimore Sun's sports section publishes game recaps, schedules, and injury reports same-day. Their website separates Ravens coverage from Orioles coverage, making it simple to track specific teams. Local television stations WMAR (Channel 2), WJZ (Channel 13), and WBFF (Channel 45) air games when local teams play and provide sports segments during evening newscasts.

Practical Differences Between Finding Games in Season vs. Off-Season

During the Ravens' regular season (September to early January), Monday night games on ESPN and Thursday night games on Amazon Prime typically conflict with other local activities, so checking the schedule more than a day ahead helps with planning. The Orioles play nearly every day from April through September, so "today's game" is almost always relevant during those months. From October through March, Ravens games are more frequent than Orioles games, reversing the coverage pattern.

Minor league baseball, the Baltimore Orioles affiliate Bowie Baysox, plays at Prince George's Stadium in Bowie, Maryland (about 30 minutes south of Baltimore). Their schedule runs May through September, and ticket prices are typically $8 to $15, significantly lower than Orioles games.

Checking Venue Availability When Games Are Played

The Ravens play at M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore, located at 1101 Russell Street. Parking in the adjacent lots costs $15 to $25 depending on the lot. The Orioles play at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, 333 West Camden Street, with similar parking rates. Both venues are walkable from Inner Harbor hotels. Johns Hopkins lacrosse games occur at Homewood Field on the university's campus in North Baltimore; admission for regular-season games is free.

Edge Cases: Postponed, Rescheduled, or Preseason Games

Weather occasionally postpones games, particularly in late fall and winter. The NFL typically reschedules within the same week; check the Ravens' official site for updates if weather develops. The Orioles rarely postpone mid-season games but may reschedule due to extreme conditions. Preseason games, which occur before the official regular season, do not count toward standings but are listed on official schedules with labels distinguishing them.

If you're checking several days in advance for a specific opponent matchup, note that the Ravens play AFC North division rivals (Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals) twice yearly, while out-of-division matchups rotate. The Orioles similarly play AL East division opponents more frequently than teams in other divisions, so rivalry games appear more often in the schedule.
