A Summer of Baseball in the Hudson Valley
The Hudson Valley Renegades, a High‑A affiliate of the New York Yankees, are set to light up Heritage Financial Park with 66 home games spread across the spring and summer of 2026.
Each contest will be anchored by a distinct promotional theme, giving fans a fresh reason to return week after week, from retro video‑game nights to jersey giveaways and the ever‑popular Kids Run the Bases.
Game Schedule and Fan Experience
The schedule runs from April through September, offering a compact but packed season that aligns with the broader Minor League calendar. Night games will be complemented by themed promotions designed to engage families, gamers and collectors alike.
Special events include a dedicated Video Game Night, where the ballpark will transform into a retro arcade, a Jersey Giveaway that will hand out limited‑edition player jerseys, and the Kids Run the Bases program that lets youngsters sprint the bases after the final out.
Heritage Financial Park sits just off exit 41 of Interstate 84, making it easily reachable for drivers from the surrounding region. The venue is also a short walk from the Beacon Metro‑North station and a handful of hotels in the Fishkill area, ensuring convenient access for out‑of‑town supporters.
Community Impact and Accessibility
Beyond the entertainment value, the Renegades’ presence underscores a broader investment in the local community. The park’s design emphasizes accessibility, with ample parking, wheelchair‑friendly pathways and clear signage that guide visitors from the highway to the stadium gates.
Local businesses stand to benefit from the influx of fans, as the proximity to hotels and dining options creates a vibrant pre‑ and post‑game economy. City officials have praised the partnership between the team, the venue and regional tourism boards for reinforcing the Hudson Valley’s reputation as a sports‑friendly destination.
