The Richmond Flying Squirrels have announced their game schedule for the 2025 season, marking their 15th year in the league and the 40th season of baseball at The Diamond.
The team will kick off their 138-game season at home Friday, April 4, hosting the Akron RubberDucks. This opener is expected to continue the Flying Squirrels’ streak of 14 consecutive sold out home openers.

“We are extremely excited to look ahead to 2025 and the 15th season of Flying Squirrels baseball,” said Ben Rothrock, chief operating officer and general manager. “We have already started the process of planning great promotions and events for 2025.”
A notable change in the 2025 schedule is that the Flying Squirrels will be on the road for Independence Day for the first time in franchise history. However, fans needn’t worry about missing out on holiday festivities. The team will host the inaugural Star-Spangled Squirrels Fest at The Diamond on July 4, featuring one of the region’s largest fireworks displays.
The 2025 season will primarily consist of a six-game series played from Tuesday through Sunday, with a few exceptions.
The season will conclude with a six-game homestand against the Hartford Yard Goats from Sept. 9-14.
Season memberships will go on sale this Wednesday. Fans who place a 50% deposit will receive priority access for 2026 season memberships.
While game times and individual ticket information were not announced, fans can already mark their calendars for a season filled with Flying Squirrels action. The team is currently wrapping up its 2024 season, with their final homestand against the Altoona Curve continuing this week at The Diamond.
