NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds return to First Horizon Park for the 2026 home opener on Tuesday, March 31 against the Charlotte Knights, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The first home series of the season features the return of all daily promotions, three gate giveaways, and two fireworks shows. Gates for Tuesday's home opener will open at 5:30 with special pregame festivities including a ceremonial first pitch from Freddie O'Connell, Mayor of the Metropolitan Government and Davidson County, a color guard featuring the Mt. Juliet High School Marine Corps JROTC, and a national anthem performance by Gina Venier.
The start of the home slate begins with postgame fireworks presented by Fox 17 after the final out Tuesday night. The first 1,000 fans through the gates for the home opener will receive a 2026 Sounds Tour T-shirt as the first of 33 total giveaways planned for the season. Winning Wednesday and 1,000 2026 Schedule Concert Posters await fans on Wednesday night. The first Throwback Thursday of the season features Music Bingo on its new night along with the introduction of $4 bratwurst and $5 NÜTRL Vodka Seltzers to go along with all other drink specials every Thursday throughout the season. The second fireworks show of the series happens with the first of 13 Friday Fireworks to get the weekend started. The fun continues with Hit City Saturday, and the third and final giveaway of the opening series takes place with a University of Tennessee themed Shootaround basketball-style Halfzip for College Night and the tip-off of Final Four Weekend. The opening home series concludes with Sunday Family Fun Day on April 5 and postgame Kids Round the Bases presented by First Horizon Bank. Be sure to get to the ballpark early for player autographs on the concourse when gates open at noon and be in your seats as the Easter Bunny tosses out a ceremonial first pitch.
