Marlins roll out new start times for Fridays, Saturdays

This browser does not support the video element.

The Marlins on Thursday announced that all Friday home games in 2024 will start at 7:10 p.m. ET rather than 6:40 p.m. In addition, Saturday games will have a 4:10 p.m. first pitch.

The change is a result of fan feedback, according to the Marlins. The later Friday time will allow for Marlins games to be the first stop on a night out in South Florida. The earlier time on Saturdays will permit families to enjoy their mornings before coming out to the game.

Opening Day is Thursday, March 28, against the Pirates at loanDepot park.
