MIDLAND, Mich. – The Great Lakes Loons are pleased to announce the full slate of game times, along with highly-anticipated dates for Fireworks Loontaculars presented by Farm Bureau Insurance, School Kids Days presented by Central Michigan University, and other important dates for the upcoming 2026 season.

The 19th season of Loons baseball gets underway with Opening Day presented by MISS DIG 811 on Friday, April 3, at Dow Diamond against the Fort Wayne TinCaps. First pitch is slated for 6:05 p.m. In total, four of the 12 games in April will be weekend dates that feature day baseball all beginning at 1:05 p.m.

School Kids Days

The Loons will welcome thousands of students from across the Great Lakes Bay Region back to the ballpark with two School Kids Days presented by Central Michigan University. On both Tuesday, May 12, and Tuesday, May 19, the gameday atmosphere transforms into an immersive experience for K-12 students that puts them first! With activities throughout the game, each kid is sure to return home with stories and photos of laugh-out-loud moments they’ll cherish for the rest of the school year. Both games will begin at 11:05 a.m.

Fireworks Loontaculars

Some of the biggest nights of the season will be capped off by a Fireworks Loontacular presented by Farm Bureau Insurance. With exciting plans in the works for each of the 11 evenings, fans won’t want to miss the dazzling displays launched from center field.

That stretch will see the Loons host the West Michigan Whitecaps for the first of their two trips to Midland from May 12-17. With no games scheduled on Memorial Day across Minor League Baseball, the Loons will host the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers that week leading up to Memorial Day from May 19-24.

In-State Foes

There’s always an extra something in the air whenever the Lansing Lugnuts or West Michigan Whitecaps come to town. Fans of all three Michigan teams in the Midwest League have a reputation for following their teams in big numbers around the state throughout the summer. Nearly a third of all home games in 2026 will feature the Loons taking on an in-state rival.
