Ottawa Titans Set Sights on 2026 Home Opener Sellout in Pursuit of League Attendance Record

Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans Baseball Club announced today its intentions to break the Frontier League single-game attendance record and sell out its 2026 Home Opener on Friday, May 8, with the return of a jersey giveaway to the first 5,000 fans.

As the Titans prepare for their fifth thrilling summer in Canada’s Capital, the Club is striving to break a 29-year-old Frontier League single-game attendance record and achieve the first sellout since the Ottawa Lynx in September of 2002. With first pitch at 7:00 p.m. against the four-time defending Frontier League champion Québec Capitales, Opening Day 2026 will be a milestone event that launches an exciting new campaign.

“Opening Night in Ottawa is always special,” said Martin Boyce, General Manager of the Ottawa Titans. “Last year’s 7,000-plus fans brought incredible energy, and the response to our jersey giveaway was overwhelming. This season, we’re raising the bar – and giving away even more jerseys with a bigger goal in mind.”

The previous mark for the highest-attended Frontier League game was set on July 4, 1997, by the Johnstown Steal with 10,250 fans.

The celebration is in full swing with live pre and in-game entertainment, food trucks, and the jersey giveaway to the first 5,000 fans who enter Ottawa Stadium. Note, all jerseys are size XL and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

“We are going into our fifth season, and we’ve seen tremendous growth,” added Boyce. “We can’t wait to launch our summer with a record attendance thanks to our thousands of passionate Ottawa/Gatineau fans.”

Fresh off welcoming nearly 100,000 fans through home games alone, the Club increased total attendance by 16% from the previous season. It was the third consecutive year – every year of the team’s existence – with double-digit percentage growth in attendance, underscoring the National Capital Region's growing love for a traditional summer pastime.

With an expected sellout, the Club also has its sights set on the largest single day of fundraising for the Ottawa Titans Field of Dreams Foundation to date. Fundraising includes auctions throughout the game, donation opportunities, and the largest 50/50 draw – the record funds raised will support children’s charities in the National Capital Region.

“With such a historic day planned, we are looking forward to being able to give back to the community through our Field of Dreams Foundation,” said Regan Katz, Ottawa Titans Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “With our largest crowd to date, and knowing the generosity in our community, we anticipate the fundraising will be the best ever.”

Since its inception, the Ottawa Titans Field of Dreams Foundation has distributed more than $100,000 to registered children’s charities throughout the National Capital Region.

After the final out of the Home Opener, fans will be treated to spectacular fireworks. Following the show, fans can head to Autograph Alley at the bottom of Section OO to meet and greet their favourite Ottawa Titans players.

The Ottawa Titans encourage fans to arrive early, take in pre-game festivities, and bring the energy inside the ballpark as the team launches a new season.

Since opening its doors in 1993, Ottawa Stadium has not seen a home crowd for professional baseball eclipse 10,000-plus spectators since a sellout of 10,332 on September 1, 2002. Originally home to the International League’s Ottawa Lynx, who were the Triple-A affiliate of the Montreal Expos (1993-2002), Baltimore Orioles (2003-2006), and Philadelphia Phillies (2007), the Lynx sold out 59 home games during their 15-year tenure, including 43 in their inaugural 1993 season.
