Royals announce 2016 schedule with first-pitch times

The Royals, along with the rest of Major League Baseball’s teams, released their 2016 schedule with start times on Tuesday. There are some exceptions, but the Royals have moved back their regular start times from 2015 from 1:10, 6:10 and 7:10 p.m. to 1:15 for most Sunday home games, 6:15 for Saturday home games as well as some early and late-season weeknight games, and 7:15 p.m. for weeknight games during most of the regular season.

All times p.m. and Central unless noted. Home games (in bold) are at Kauffman Stadium. Times are also subject to change and Fox Sports Kansas City’s TV schedule has not been announced.
