Frisco’s Miracle League is stepping up to the plate for a milestone season. As the program heads into its 20th baseball season in 2026, Mike Simpson Field is getting a full refresh and a coveted national spotlight, with the nonprofit set to host the National Miracle League All‑Star Weekend in October. Between the upgraded field and the three‑day showcase, families and volunteers are expected to pack Harold Bacchus Community Park and Riders Field this fall.
The City of Frisco lists the Mike Simpson Miracle League Field renovation as “in progress” on its parks page, with a new cushioned playing surface and an updated playground slated for completion by the end of February 2026. That schedule would put the field back in action in time for the Miracle League’s spring season at Harold Bacchus Community Park.
Parents and volunteers say the makeover was a long time coming after two decades of Texas heat and constant use. League president Jeremy Silvas told Community Impact the program is “sort of born into” his family. The nonprofit has also picked up a new scoreboard that can showcase player photos, and the organization now serves athletes ages 5 to 22 while offering soccer, basketball, bowling, flag football, track and cheer alongside baseball.
Frisco To Host National Miracle League All‑Star Weekend
According to the national calendar from The Miracle League, Frisco will host the 2026 National Miracle League All‑Star Weekend from Oct. 16 to 18, 2026, with games scheduled for Riders Field and Mike Simpson Field. Organizers estimate the event will bring about 1,500 visitors into town over three days, putting the local league and its home field on a national stage.
Upgrades Backed By Local Investment
Work on Mike Simpson Field is part of a broader city reinvestment push. Frisco’s Community Development Corporation approved a construction contract for improvements that include new site furnishings, dugout work and a resurfaced playing area, according to Community Impact. The city owns the park and, organizers note, has listed the Miracle League field renovation on its facilities page following years of advocacy from volunteers.
For many families, the diamond is more than a ballfield. Volunteers who once signed up as buddies are now coaching or serving in league leadership, and athletes who age out often return to help the next wave of players. That progression from first‑season player to seasoned volunteer has turned the Miracle League into a homegrown pipeline for inclusion and service in Frisco.
How To Watch, Volunteer Or Register
The Miracle League is recruiting buddies, coaches and board members ahead of the 2026 season, and player and volunteer signups are available online. For registration details, volunteer opportunities and information on the all‑star weekend, visit Miracle League of Frisco.
