Crosscutters release promotional schedule for 2026 season

The Williamsport Crosscutters have released their promotional schedule for the 2026 season.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Bowman Field. Opened in 1926, the stadium ranks as the ninth oldest active ballpark in America. The Crosscutters will celebrate the 100th anniversary with special events, commemorative giveaways, and unique fan experiences honoring a century of baseball tradition.

The special season begins with opening night on Tuesday, June 2 when the Cutters host the West Virginia Black Bears. The first 1,000 fans will receive a special baseball commemorating Bowman Field’s 100th anniversary and the Cutters will wear special Williamsport Grays throwback jerseys that will be available to fans in an online auction.

Game times remain unchanged from last season with Monday through Saturday games starting at 6:35 p.m. Sundays feature a 4:05 p.m. first pitch. The Cutters will also have a 1:05 p.m. start on the Fourth of July.

Main gates open 1 hour prior to game time.

A highlight of the schedule is the MLB Draft League International Series with the Canadian and Mexican Jr. National teams touring the league. Williamsport will host the Mexican team June 12-14 for Mexican Heritage Weekend as the Cutters rebrand to Los Cadejos in commemoration of this historic series. The weekend will feature Mexican music, food and drink.

In addition to wearing Williamsport Grays jerseys on opening night, the Cutters will wear a special heritage jersey for every Friday home game including the Tomahawks (June 26 and August 28), Potato Capers (July 10 and August 14) and Grays (July 17).
