The Bisons 2021 schedule is exclusively comprised of games against Northeast Division foes, the Rochester Red Wings, the Syracuse Mets, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Worcester Red Sox and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The Bisons will make their first ever trip to Worcester on Tuesday, May 18, marking the club’s first game in the state of Massachusetts since defeating the Pawtucket Red Sox at ‘The Futures of Fenway’ game 2-0 on August 18, 2012.
The schedule will include 12 home series, 11 of which are six games in length with a four-game set against Lehigh Valley, July 15-18, shortened because of All-Star Week.
