Major League Baseball today announced a schedule adjustment for the upcoming game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Oakland Athletics at Busch Stadium. Originally slated for Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 4:45 p.m. PDT, the contest has been officially rescheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m. CT.
The decision was made in coordination with the Cardinals, the Athletics, and MLB’s broadcast partners to better serve fans both at the ballpark and watching at home. By shifting the start into primetime, MLB aims to maximize television coverage and allow more supporters in St. Louis to attend after standard working hours.
“All tickets issued for the originally scheduled game time will be honored at the new start time,” MLB confirmed in its statement. “Gates at Busch Stadium will open later in the afternoon, and all promotions and in-game entertainment will proceed as planned.”
Team officials noted that the adjustment would have minimal impact on competitive preparations, while players are expected to benefit from cooler evening playing conditions. Both clubs have been notified, and pitching assignments are expected to remain unchanged.
MLB emphasized its commitment to enhancing the fan experience while ensuring the smooth operation of the regular-season schedule. The league encourages fans to visit MLB.com and the official Cardinals website for updates on ballpark entry, transportation, and broadcast details surrounding the rescheduled matchup.
