Palm Springs Power begins title defense on Friday night

The three-time defending California Premier Collegiate League champions will begin their quest for a four-peat when they take the mound on Friday night at Palm Springs Stadium.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with stadium gates opening at 5 p.m. The first opponent of the season will be the Utah Yacks.
The Power enter the 2026 season with momentum after capturing their third consecutive CPCL title. Manager Casey Dill returns for his tenth season, with a new staff joining him in the dugout.
Opening Weekend promises to be a three-day celebration of baseball and community. On Opening Night, Friday, May 29th, local favorites Juice It Up! and Handel's Ice Cream will be onsite with vendor booths, giving fans even more reason to arrive early and soak in the full experience before first pitch. The evening wraps up with a post-game firework show at approximately 9:30 PM.
The fun continues on Saturday, May 30th with Little League Night, celebrating the next generation of ballplayers in the Coachella Valley.
Opening Weekend concludes with one of the unique events of the summer, the Heroes on the Diamond Charity Exhibition. Power players will team up with members of the Palm Springs Police and Fire Departments for a special charity baseball game, with all proceeds benefiting both the Palm Springs Police Officers Association and the Palm Springs Fire Foundation. It's a night to honor the men and women who serve our community.
Affordability and fan value remain a top priority for the organization in 2026. General Admission tickets are $10, Senior tickets are $8, and Youth tickets (ages 12 and under) are $5. Fans looking to attend every home game can purchase a Season Ticket for just $100.
