“As we continue to have success in 2022, the planning process for 2023 has long since begun,” Flying Squirrels CEO Todd “Parney” Parnell said. “Having our 2023 game dates will really accelerate this process. As we look to finish the 2022 season strong with our final two homestands and the Eastern League Playoff games at The Diamond beginning September 22, we are looking forward to another exciting season of Flying Squirrels baseball and are targeting our 13th consecutive Opening Night sellout on April 7.”

Once again, Eastern League teams will play a 138-game regular-season schedule. The Flying Squirrels, who are leading all 30 Double-A teams in average home attendance this year, will again play 69 home games in 2023.
