Glow in the dark baseball will be coming to Downtown Fresno in 2026. The Fresno Grizzlies announced Thursday morning that Cosmic Baseball, which adds a glow-in-the-dark twist to baseball, will bring its Cosmic Takeover Tour to Chukchansi Park in 2026.

The tour, which sold out all of its stops in 2025, has gained national attention with features on The Today Show, ABC News, Sports Illustrated and MLB Network.

Cosmic Baseball combines competition with teams such as the Chili Peppers and Glow Mojis playing under black lights with neon uniforms and UV-reactive baseballs.

The lights will be off for the duration of the game.

“We’re always excited to have the opportunity to bring special, unique national headlining acts here to Chukchansi Park,” said Jonathan Bravo, the director of marketing & communications for the Grizzlies. “This is really special to the community and we’re really excited to partner with Cosmic Baseball.”

Cosmic Baseball comes to Chukchansi Park two years after the Savannah Bananas, arguably the most well-known entertainment baseball group, came to Fresno.

The Bananas didn’t return to Fresno 2025.

Ticket lottery registration is already open through the Cosmic Baseball website, with exact dates and pricing to be announced. Updates will also be available at chilipeppersbaseball.com and through the Grizzlies’ social media accounts.
