BALTIMORE — The Orioles announced their updated 2020 season will open on Friday, July 24, at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, as part of a season-opening, five-game road trip against the Red Sox (three games) and Miami Marlins (two games).

This season’s July 24 opener marks the latest Opening Day in baseball history. All 60 regular season games will be carried live on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) throughout an exclusive territory that covers a seven-state region.

The Orioles will also play three exhibition games during 2020 Summer Camp. The O’s will travel to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on July 19 to play the Phillies, Baltimore will host the Washington Nationals at Oriole Park on July 20, and the Orioles will visit Nationals Park on July 21.

The club will also celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment, granting women a constitutional right to vote, on August 18 at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.

At the start of the 2020 campaign, the Orioles, like many Major League teams, will not immediately play in front of spectators as part of a strict policy in the interest of public health and safety, as well as the safety of employees and players.

The Orioles will continue to comply with local laws and orders while adhering to the guidelines set in place by public health professionals and will work with Major League Baseball to closely monitor this rapidly evolving situation.

Policy updates regarding attendance will be communicated to fans if and when they become available.
