Red Sox Ready to Kick Off 2025 Season with Opening Day at Home

The countdown is on — Opening Day is almost here!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 11 at 2:00 PM as the Brantford Red Sox take the field at Arnold Anderson Stadium to launch the 2025 season with a marquee matchup against the London Majors.

But this isn’t just another Opening Day. It’s the start of a season unlike any other. This year marks Reverse Tariffs Season — and tickets to every single home game are completely FREE.

Founded in 1911, the Red Sox are one of the most storied franchises in Canadian baseball history, proudly boasting 15 Intercounty Baseball League championships. Now entering their 114th season, the team is celebrating more than a century of baseball in Brantford with a season dedicated to community, history, and cross-border friendship.

New Red Sox Owner Terry Smith shared what this special season means:

“This Reverse Tariffs Season is very important to me because we want the Red Sox and the City of Brantford to celebrate the 114 years that the Red Sox have been playing in Brantford, because we want to celebrate the greatness of the City of Brantford, because we want to thank everyone in Brantford for supporting the Red Sox for all these 114 years, because we want the Brantford Red Sox to do our part to reverse the tariffs, and because we want to display the great love and the tremendous respect that all Americans and all Canadians have for each other.”

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor, Opening Day is your chance to experience the pride, tradition, and excitement of Red Sox baseball. From the crack of the bat to the roar of the crowd, it’s a celebration of everything that makes Brantford baseball special.

Fans attending Opening Day can look forward to:

  • Concession stands serving classic ballpark favourites

  • A beer garden with local brews

  • Official Red Sox merchandise available for purchase

  • A fun, family-friendly atmosphere

  • The return of fan-favourite players and the debut of exciting new talent

Gates open at 12:30 PM, with first pitch at 2:00 PM. Seating is general admission — arrive early to grab the best spot and soak in the pregame excitement.

Let’s fill Arnold Anderson Stadium, honour 114 years of baseball history, and kick off the 2025 season the right way. See you at the ballpark!
