After the Dodgers begin the 2014 regular season with games in Australia against the Arizona Diamondbacks, they will play their third official game March 30 in San Diego.

That’s a change from the original schedule that had the Padres’ home opener scheduled for March 31. That day will now be an off day. The March 30 game will televised by ESPN as the season’s initial Sunday Night Baseball broadcast.

So to clarify the schedule:

March 16 (1:05 p.m.) — final Cactus League game vs. Rockies at Camelback Ranch

March 17–21 — off

March 22 (1 a.m. in Los Angeles, 7 p.m. in Sydney) — opening game vs. Diamondbacks in Sydney

March 22 (7 p.m. in Los Angeles, 1 p.m. March 23 in Sydney) — game two vs. Diamondbacks in Sydney

March 23–26 — off

March 27 (7:10 p.m.) — exhibition game vs. Angels at Dodger Stadium

March 28 (7:10 p.m.) — exhibition game vs. Angels at Dodger Stadium

March 29 (6:05 p.m.) — exhibition game vs. Angels at Anaheim

March 30 (5:05 p.m.) — regular season game vs. Padres at San Diego

March 31 — off

April 1 (TBD) — regular-season game vs. Padres at San Diego

April 2 (7:10 p.m.) — regular-season game vs. Padres at San Diego

April 3 — off

April 4 (1:10 p.m.) — home opener vs. Giants at Dodger Stadium

Update: The April 1 game at San Diego now has a 3:40 p.m. start time.
