Cubs Wrigley Field game times through history, updated

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is an update to my article published in July 2013 which chronicled Cubs scheduled game times through all of Wrigley Field’s history dating back to 1916, when the Cubs first moved to the corner of Clark & Addison. In this update I’ve added the times from 2014-19, and added some further notes.

In 2020, the Cubs will for the first time move the starting time of some night games up to 6:40. Several other teams have also moved night-game starts up to a similar time. This is in response to games running longer and longer and many people reporting that they weren’t getting home until close to midnight.
