Ottawa Titans sell out home opener

Date:

The Ottawa Titans have already scored a major win before the start of the 2026 Frontier League season.

The baseball team announced that it has sold out tickets for its May 8 home opener, breaking a single-game attendance record for the league.

The team said its sold all 10,278 tickets for the stadium, building off a 16 per cent increase in attendance in 2025.

“We’re incredibly proud of the support Ottawa-Gatineau has shown,” Martin Boyce, Titans’ general manager said in a statement.

“I can’t think of a better city — or better fans — to set a new league attendance record.”

First pitch for the May 8 game against the four-time defending Frontier League champion Québec Capitales is set for 7 p.m.

There will be live pre- and in-game entertainment to mark the occasion, including food trucks and a jersey giveaway to the first 5,000 fans who enter Ottawa Stadium.

The team has also set its sights on the largest single-day fundraising event 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, according to the team.

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