Baseball enthusiasts in Peoria are in for a treat as the Peoria Sports Complex gears up for the 2026 Spring Training season, according to a recent announcement. Starting today, Padres and Mariners fans can gear up at the team shop, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Those ready to secure their spots in the stands can do so starting January 31, when the box office opens for in-person ticket sales at 9 a.m.
The first game is marked by a can't-miss rivalry on February 20, pitching the Mariners against the Padres, both teams riding high off impressive playoff runs just last year. The complex has also introduced new promotions and fan experiences; this includes discounted tickets of at least 25% for Peoria residents and a 10% discount for veterans and active-duty service members, alongside appreciation discounts for local heroes like first responders and educators, complementing the traditional fan favorite events such as Kids Run the Bases and Bark at the Park.
According to the City of Peoria, further enticements this season include Thirsty Thursdays with savings on draft beers, the Loyal Locals deal that offers $2 refills all season with a souvenir cup purchase, and the Book It to the Ballpark initiative, encouraging donations for local libraries in return for an opportunity to play catch on the field. Each promotion carries unique dates and restrictions, with specifics such as eligibility and limitations detailed on the Sports Complex's official website.
The complex is keen on accommodating fans of all needs, noting that accessibility accommodations are available and urging those in need of assistance to reach out to the ticket office. With a variety of promotional offerings coupled with online ticket sales and options for season tickets, group attendance, and fundraising opportunities, the 2026 Spring Training at Peoria promises a ballpark experience full of community engagement and sports spirit; these details, subject to change, emphasize the importance of checking the website for the most up-to-date information.
