How Can I Find Out Who's Playing the Baltimore Ravens?
The Ravens' regular season and preseason schedules are published each spring by the NFL and posted on baltimoreravens.com and the official NFL website. Home games at M&T Bank Stadium run September through January, with opponent matchups varying yearly based on the NFL's rotation system. Check the team's official channels in May or June for the full upcoming season schedule, or visit in real time during the season for current standings and next opponent.
Where to Check the Schedule
The Baltimore Ravens organization maintains their official schedule at baltimoreravens.com under the "Schedule" tab, updated annually in May when the NFL releases all 32 teams' fixtures. This source confirms date, time, opponent, and home/away designation. The NFL's central website (nfl.com) duplicates this information and adds league-wide context, useful if you're tracking multiple teams or playoff implications.
For immediate, real-time updates during the season, the Ravens' official social media accounts (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook) post injury reports, last-minute changes, and postgame schedules before mainstream outlets. Season ticket holders receive printed schedules by mail; single-game ticket buyers can reference the same digital schedule before purchasing.
How the NFL Schedule Works
The NFL divides 32 teams into two conferences (AFC and NFC), eight divisions per conference, four teams per division. Baltimore plays in the AFC North alongside Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Each team plays 17 regular season games: six divisional games (home and away against three division rivals), 10 games against teams from two other divisions (rotated yearly), and one game against a team from the remaining division based on prior-season standing.
This structure means Baltimore's non-divisional opponents change annually. A Steelers or Bengals matchup is guaranteed every year, but games against NFC teams or distant AFC opponents shift on a three-year cycle. Preseason games (typically four per team in August) feature rotating opponents used primarily for player evaluation.
M&T Bank Stadium and Ticket Basics
Home games occur at M&T Bank Stadium, located at 1101 Russell Street in downtown Baltimore, one block south of the Inner Harbor. General admission prices vary by opponent and seat location; divisional games and nationally televised matchups cost more than non-conference games against lesser-known opponents. Single-game tickets typically range from $60 to $300+ depending on opponent rivalry, playoff positioning, and seat proximity to midfield.
Season ticket packages lock in 17 home games and offer pricing discounts compared to single-game purchases. Waiting lists exist during competitive years. The Ravens' ticket office handles sales at baltimoreravens.com or by phone for specific pricing on upcoming matchups.
Arrive 90 minutes before kickoff for standard games; stadium gates open two hours before scheduled start time. M&T Bank Stadium is accessible via the Baltimore Light Rail (Camden Line), which stops at Hamburg Station three blocks away, or by car with paid parking on-site ($25 typical) or in nearby Inner Harbor lots.
Streaming and Broadcast Information
Not every Ravens game airs on local Baltimore television. Divisional matchups and nationally significant games air on CBS, Fox, or ESPN based on the NFL's broadcast schedule. The NFL+ subscription service streams some games, with blackout rules varying. Check the Ravens' schedule page in advance to confirm broadcast details for out-of-market viewers.
Local radio broadcasts occur on 98 Rock (WQSR) for all games, regardless of television availability. This option is free and reliable for following the game while driving or working.
Playoff and Off-Season Context
Regular season play ends in early January; the Ravens typically know their playoff status by Week 17. If they qualify (usually top two seeds in the AFC North, or a wild card berth), playoff games begin in mid-January at M&T Bank Stadium or an opponent's field depending on seeding. The Super Bowl, if the Ravens advance, occurs in early February at a rotating neutral site.
The offseason runs February through August. Team facilities are not open to public tours, but the Ravens host fan events and draft parties in downtown Baltimore in late April when the NFL Draft takes place (held in a different city annually, but Ravens draft activities center on Baltimore).
Related Questions
Can I get a refund if a Ravens game is postponed or cancelled? Postponements are rare but can occur due to severe weather or public health emergencies. The Ravens' ticket office handles refunds or seat transfers on a case-by-case basis; contact them directly through baltimoreravens.com rather than assuming a standard refund policy.
Do preseason games cost the same as regular season games? No, preseason tickets are typically 30 to 50 percent cheaper than regular season games because they have less playoff impact and feature more substitute players. Availability is also usually higher.
What's the difference between the AFC and NFC? The AFC (American Football Conference) and NFC (National Football Conference) are the NFL's two equal divisions. Baltimore plays in the AFC, meaning the Ravens are more likely to face other AFC teams in the regular season and can only meet NFC teams in the Super Bowl.
