The current season might still be underway, but the Flying Squirrels have announced the schedule for their 2025 season. Opening Day will be Friday, April 4, kicking off the team’s 15th season.

The season will begin at home against the Akron RubberDucks. Want to go? Get tickets early — Opening Day of each of the team’s prior 14 seasons has sold out. Single game tickets for next year are not yet available, but full-season memberships for 2025 go on sale Wednesday, Aug. 14.

The other big news from the announcement is that — for the first time in franchise history — the Squirrels will be on the road for July 4. In place of an Independence Day game, the Diamond will host the first ever Star-Spangled Squirrels Fest.

Details about the fest are being kept under wraps,but the event will feature a massive fireworks display.
