As the baseball world turns its attention to the World Series, the Richmond Flying Squirrels are already looking ahead to their 2025 season, announcing game times for their home contests on Wednesday.
The Flying Squirrels will host 69 home games next season, beginning with Opening Night at The Diamond on Friday, April 4, at 6:35 p.m. against the Akron RubberDucks. For home games in 2025, most weekday games (Tuesday-Friday) will begin at 6:35 p.m.
There are a few exceptions, however. The Tuesday, April 15, game will start at 6:05 p.m., while Wednesday, April 16, and Wednesday, June 25, games will be earlier at 11:05 a.m. and 12:05 p.m. respectively. All Saturday home games will start at 6:05 p.m.
From April through June, Sunday home games will begin at 1:35 p.m. This includes the season finale Sunday, Sept. 14. In July and August, Sunday home games will shift to a 5:05 p.m. start time and will feature a Summer Music Series prior to the games.
“As we look forward to our transition to CarMax Park, we want to focus on providing an elevated fan experience at each and every home game. We’re excited to start that process in 2025,” Flying Squirrels Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Ben Rothrock said. “The game time adjustments for the upcoming season, particularly on Sundays in July and August when shade is at a premium, are part of that process as is the addition of a Summer Music Series prior to Sunday evening games."
