FRISCO, Texas | October 22, 2025 – Baseball is about to shine a little brighter in North Texas. The Frisco RoughRiders announced that the highly anticipated Cosmic Baseball event will take place on April 18, 2026, at Riders Field, marking one of the most unique and visually stunning experiences ever to hit the diamond.
After weeks of growing excitement, organizers officially confirmed the date for the Frisco stop of the Cosmic Baseball Tour, giving fans an early opportunity to enter the Cosmic Ticket Lottery for a chance to purchase tickets. The event has drawn national attention as it reimagines America’s pastime with an electrifying, glow-in-the-dark twist.
A New Kind of Ballgame
Described as “part baseball, part neon-fueled party, and 100% unforgettable,” Cosmic Baseball turns the ballpark into a dazzling arena of lights, music, and high-energy entertainment. The concept features two professional teams — the Cosmic Chili Peppers and The Glow Mojis — who play an official game under black light illumination, complete with UV-reactive uniforms, glowing baseballs, and neon bases.
Every pitch, swing, and slide glows vividly under ultraviolet lighting, transforming the game into a surreal spectacle that’s as much about the experience as the sport itself.
“Fans can expect something completely different — a night where baseball meets concert energy,” said event spokesperson Jamie Roland. “From the lighting to the music to the way the field is presented, Cosmic Baseball is designed to create an immersive, high-energy event that’s fun for all ages.”
The event’s popularity has skyrocketed since its debut earlier this year, earning features on The Today Show, ABC News, Sports Illustrated, and MLB Network. Riders Field will serve as one of the key stops on the 2026 tour, with Frisco fans set to experience the fusion of sport and spectacle firsthand.
The Frisco Experience
Riders Field, known for hosting some of the most fan-friendly experiences in Minor League Baseball, is expected to transform completely for the event. The outfield will glow, music will pulse from the stands, and even traditional game elements — such as player introductions, umpire calls, and between-inning entertainment — will be given a neon makeover.
Fans attending the Frisco stop will also be part of the Cosmic Party Zone, where interactive light shows, glow merchandise, and themed food and drink options will be part of the experience. The RoughRiders’ front office said they plan to make it a full-day event with pregame festivities and community engagement opportunities.
“This is something our fans have never seen before,” said Frisco RoughRiders General Manager Scott Burchett. “We’re proud that Riders Field will be one of the few ballparks in the country to host Cosmic Baseball. It aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver fun, memorable entertainment alongside great baseball.”
How to Attend
Fans eager to attend the event are encouraged to enter the Cosmic Ticket Lottery through the official website, ChiliPeppersBaseball.com, or by following @gochilipeppers on Instagram for updates. Ticket demand is expected to be high given the national buzz surrounding the event.
In addition to the game itself, organizers have teased special guest appearances, live DJ sets, and interactive fan competitions, all bathed in the cosmic glow that has defined the tour’s nationwide success.
A Bright Future for Baseball Entertainment
