The Swamp Expands: Mud Monsters Announce 2026 Schedule Featuring 51 Home Games and International Debut

Mississippi Mud Monsters News Release


PEARL, Miss. - The Mississippi Mud Monsters have released their full 2026 Frontier League schedule, and it's a beast of a summer. The second season in team history will feature 51 home games at Trustmark Park, two all-day doubleheaders, and the franchise's first-ever trip outside the United States.

The Mud Monsters open the year at home on Thursday, May 7 against the Gateway Grizzlies. From there, the schedule winds through a summer packed with teal, new rivalries, and the kind of energy that only happens when baseball and community come together in the heart of Mississippi.

"This schedule is built for fun," said Andrew Seymour, General Manager of the Mississippi Mud Monsters. "We've got early rivalries, great entertainment, fireworks weekends, and even passports. Year one showed that Pearl has heart. Year two will show that we have teeth."

Fans can look forward to two home doubleheaders this season. The first lands on Saturday, May 30 against the Tri-City ValleyCats, and the second on Saturday, July 4 against the Florence Y'alls. Both will be full-day experiences with back-to-back baseball, local food, and plenty of Mud Monsters mayhem filling the park from start to finish.

Then comes something brand new. In August, the Mud Monsters will travel north for a historic series against the Ottawa Titans, marking the first time a Mississippi team has ever played professional baseball in Canada. The trip will bring the swamp to new waters and proudly carry the Pearl community onto an international stage.

Home weekends remain the heartbeat of the schedule, featuring Frontier League staples like the Joliet Slammers, Schaumburg Boomers, Washington Wild Things, and Lake Erie Crushers. June and July bring more home nights than any other stretch, offering families and fans a steady rhythm of baseball under the lights.

"The Mud Monsters are more than a team," Seymour added. "They're a reflection of what happens when people rally around something bigger than themselves. It's about belonging, laughter, and showing up for each other night after night."

The full 2026 schedule is listed below. Home series appear in bold teal, road trips are in standard text.
