Phillies Schedule 2016 Game Times
By Matt Veasey
The Philadelphia Phillies schedule for the 2016 season now includes all of the game starting times.
Previously, the club had announced the full 2016 schedule of games and opponents, with the dates of each series and game, but with start times for only the home games. Now the actual starting times have been added to the schedule for all road games as well.
The Phils will begin play in the 2016 Major League Baseball season with Opening Day in a 4:10pm game at Great American Ball Park against the host Cincinnati Reds on Monday, April 4th.
The schedule for the entire opening week features a variety of start times. The subsequent two games in Cincinnati are scheduled for a 7:10pm start on Wednesday, April 6th and the series finale on Thursday, April 7th has a 12:35pm start time.

The Phillies then travel to New York, where on Friday, April 8th they will help the defending National League champion Mets celebrate yet another home Opening Day with a 1:10pm start time. On Saturday, April 9th the two NL East rivals will meet beginning at 7:10pm, and the series will conclude with a 1:10pm start time on Sunday, April 10th.
After opening with six games on the road in Cincinnati and New York, the Phillies will finally celebrate a 3rd Opening Day, this one their own opener on Monday, April 11th, with a 3:05pm start time against the San Diego Padres.
After that, the club begins to fall into a much more regular pattern, with mostly 7:05pm start times for week night home games, 1:05pm weekday afternoon starts, and 1:35pm Sunday afternoon start times.
