Phillies 2024 Opening Day postponed to Friday originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
With rain in the forecast throughout the morning and afternoon Thursday and a built-in off-day Friday specifically for this purpose, the Phillies' season opener against the Braves has been postponed by a day.
Phillies Opening Day 2024 will be Friday at 3:05 p.m. on NBC10 against the visiting Atlanta Braves.
MLB provides teams a buffer during the opening weekend with a scheduled off-day. It often proves necessary in at least one or two cities, as it did a year ago when the Phillies were forced to move their season opener back a day because of a similar forecast.
