St. Louis Cardinals to Play in Springfield in March 2026

Springfield Cardinals News Release


Springfield, MO - The Springfield Cardinals are thrilled to announce that the 11-time World Champion St. Louis Cardinals will play an Exhibition Game against their Double-A Affiliate at Hammons Field on Monday, March 23, 2026 at 6:05 PM.

Dubbed "Cards vs. Cards, presented by Mercy", this game figures to feature 2025 Gold Glove winner Masyn Winn, National League All-Star Brendan Donovan and Gold Glove finalist Victor Scott II, all of whom made significant impacts during their time with the Springfield Cardinals.

"Hosting our parent club here in the Ozarks is always special," Springfield Cardinals General Manager Dan Reiter said. "Our fans here are as loyal as they come, and to give them an opportunity to watch the big league club take on the defending Texas League Champions in their own backyard is extremely exciting."

"This game is going to be so much fun for fans, and especially for our sports medicine team," John Myers, president of Mercy Springfield Communities, said. "I don't think most people realize that Mercy sports medicine providers care for players on both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Springfield Cardinals. What I love about this game is that no matter what, the Cardinals will walk away with a win."

This will be the fifth time in Springfield history that St. Louis visits Hammons Field (2005 - two games, 2008 - two games, 2012 and 2017), marking the end of the longest hiatus since the first time the two teams clashed.
