How Can I Find Out What Baltimore Sports Teams Play Today?
Baltimore's two major professional teams are the Ravens (NFL) and the Orioles (MLB). Check the Ravens' official schedule at ravens.com or the Orioles' at mlb.com/orioles to confirm whether either team plays today, which opponent they face, and kickoff or first pitch time. During football season (September through January), Ravens games typically occur on Sundays, Mondays, or occasionally Thursdays; baseball season runs April through October with games most days. Both teams play at downtown venues: M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens and Camden Yards for the Orioles.
The Ravens' 2024 regular season ticket prices range from roughly $75 to over $500 depending on seat location and opponent, with playoff games commanding higher prices. Orioles single-game tickets at Camden Yards typically start around $15 for upper-deck standing room only and reach $200 or more for behind-home-plate seating. Both teams sell out premium matchups weeks in advance, so availability varies sharply week to week. Ticket resale markets (StubHub, Ticketmaster's resale platform, SeatGeek) often undercut face value for less competitive games.
Neither team maintains a unified "Baltimore sports schedule" combining all events. You must check each team's website separately. The Ravens publish their full 17-game schedule in May; the Orioles release theirs in November. Both teams update start times after television networks confirm broadcasts, sometimes moving a Sunday game to Monday Night Football or adjusting first pitch based on broadcast agreements. If you follow neither team closely, a Google search for "Ravens schedule" or "Orioles schedule" combined with today's date will surface the current week's games faster than navigating team websites from scratch.
Beyond the Ravens and Orioles, Baltimore hosts lower-profile professional and college sports. The Baltimore Blast, a professional indoor soccer team in the Major Arena Soccer League, plays at various venues during their October-to-April season; attendance averages 3,000 to 5,000. The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) competes in NCAA Division I across multiple sports with home games scattered throughout fall and spring. Loyola University Maryland fields teams in the Patriot League. None of these draw the fan attention or media coverage of the Ravens and Orioles, and their schedules are rarely mentioned in "what's on today" conversations unless you specifically follow those programs.
Local media outlets including WBAL-TV (Channel 11), Fox45 (Channel 45), and The Baltimore Sun occasionally promote Ravens or Orioles games prominently on their websites and social platforms, but they do not aggregate a single daily sports calendar. The Sun's sports section lists upcoming Ravens and Orioles matchups but requires knowing to check that section explicitly.
If you attend an event at M&T Bank Stadium or Camden Yards, arrive early. M&T Bank Stadium recommends arriving 90 minutes before kickoff for parking and entry; Camden Yards suggests the same for baseball games. Parking near M&T Bank costs $20 to $40 depending on lot; Camden Yards parking in the warehouse district and nearby municipal lots ranges from $15 to $30. Public transit via the Metro Red Line (light rail) serves both venues if you prefer to avoid driving; a one-way fare is $2.
During playoff season, ticket demand for Ravens games spikes dramatically, and secondary market prices can triple or quadruple face value within hours of clinching scenarios. If you want to attend a potential playoff game, monitor ticket availability the day a playoff berth is mathematically secured rather than waiting.
For games on national television, you may watch at home without attending. The Ravens' prime-time games air on ESPN, Fox, or NFL Network; Orioles games air on Fox, MLB Network, or MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network), a regional cable channel available through most Baltimore-area providers. Streaming options (ESPN+, MLB.tv with local blackout restrictions, Peacock) supplement traditional broadcasts but come with geographic and subscription limitations.

Can I get same-day tickets to a Ravens or Orioles game? Yes; check Ticketmaster, team box offices, and resale platforms the morning of game day, when secondary sellers lower prices as game time approaches. Orioles weekday games and non-division Ravens matchups typically have more same-day availability than weekend or rivalry contests.
Are there free sports events in Baltimore I can watch today? High school football and baseball games occur throughout the fall and spring, though schedules vary by school and are not published in a central calendar.
