The Philadelphia Phillies (40-33) were scheduled to host the Miami Marlins (36-38) at Citizens Bank Park for a 1:05 p.m. ET first pitch on June 17 in a midday matchup billed as Marlins - Phillies.
Philadelphia viewers could watch on NBCSP while Marlins fans had the game on Marlins.TV; the Phillies radio broadcast was available on 94WIP and the iHeart app, and the Marlins’ radio coverage was on WQAM 104.3 and WAQI 710.
The listing named Sandy Alcantara as the Marlins’ probable starter opposite Andrew Painter for the Phillies, a pairing that sets a clear pitching narrative for the afternoon: two notable arms were scheduled to take the mound and shape how each club approached the game.
This post gives fans the basic viewing and listening information they need for today’s game — the start time, the place, the local TV windows and the radio outlets — so anyone planning to attend, stream or tune in knows where to find the action.
There is one practical caveat: Alcantara and Painter were listed as the probable starters in the schedule, but the listing did not settle the usual pregame question of final confirmation. Managers and teams can still change their opening-day choices before the lineups are made official, and those changes matter for fans tracking matchups.
What comes next is straightforward: the game itself begins at 1:05 p.m. ET at Citizens Bank Park, and any final confirmation of starters will be apparent in the teams’ pregame announcements and on the broadcast feeds. Fans who want certainty on the pitching matchup should check the listed TV or radio outlets for pregame updates ahead of first pitch.
