Seniors who want to catch every baseball game need to get their tickets soon; purchase online at okccomets.com before the first game on March 27, as early-bird discounts end soon. The season kicks off on March 27 against the Albuquerque Isotopes (Colorado Rockies) with a new affordable pricing plan. Single-game tickets now start as low as $9 (specifically for Section 120), with many prices remaining flat or decreasing from 2025.
Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark has hosted Triple-A baseball for 28 years, beginning with its opening in April 1998. In 2020, it was named the “Best of the Ballparks” for Triple-A facilities by Ballpark Digest. The franchise won the Pacific Coast League (PCL) championship at the ballpark, known locally as “The Brick,” in 2023.
In their second year under the Oklahoma City Comets name, they enter their 11th year as the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team with recent back-to-back World Series titles (2024 and 2025), which inspired local pride and excitement among fans.
The strong bond between the two clubs remains a key part of the Comets’ identity.
“Our fans can enjoy 75 high-quality home games in 2026 after a 2025 season where 26 different players moved between Oklahoma City and the world championship Dodgers’ roster,” Director of Communications & Broadcasting Alex Freedman said.
This means Comets fans are treated to some of the highest-level minor league play in
baseball. The Dodgers are now consistently one of the biggest spenders in Major League
Baseball, ranking first in total payroll for three of the last five seasons (2021, 2022, and 2025). In 2025, they became the most expensive team in MLB history, overtaking the New
York Yankees.
Manager Scott Hennessey returns for his second season leading the Comets and his same first-year staff, with the addition of former MLB outfielder David Dahl as an assistant hitting coach.
The roster features MLB veterans like Santiago Espinal and Keston Hiura, along with promising talents such as Nick Frasso and Carlos Durant, inspiring fans with high-level
baseball and team success.
Paying homage to Oklahoma MLB legend Mickey Mantle’s nickname as the Commerce Comet, the team plays in the Pacific Coast League.
The “one step away from the major leagues” players will again showcase their skills using the Automated Ball-Strike System in its fourth year. MLB officially approved the implementation of the ABS Challenge System for the Major League level beginning this season.

The team will have back-to-back fireworks nights for an Independence Day celebration on July 3-4.
On Family Sundays, select Comets players will sign autographs for fans on the concourse before the first pitch, creating memorable experiences for families. Following those games, kids can take the field to run the bases like their favorite pros, making the games more engaging and family-friendly.
