JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Members of Crustacean Nation can begin marking their calendars for the 2023 season of Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp baseball, as the club released their 2022 schedule on Wednesday. The 2023 season will begin on Friday, March 31, when Jacksonville plays at the Gwinnett Stripers (Atlanta Braves).

The 150-game regular season features 75 contests at 121 Financial Ballpark, including 39 home weekend games. Similar to both the 2021 and 2022 campaigns, each series will be six games in length with just two exceptions (March 31-April 2 at Gwinnett, July 14-16 vs. Worcester Red Sox). Mondays will be a league-wide designated off-day, save for Monday, July 3, when the Jumbo Shrimp play the Bulls for their annual Independence Day celebration.

The campaign will run through Sunday, September 24, when Jacksonville completes a six-game series at the Nashville Sounds (Milwaukee Brewers). The final home game in 2023 at 121 Financial Ballpark is scheduled for Sunday, September 17 against Gwinnett.
