Cosmic Baseball's neon-lit takeover tour makes first stop in Arlington

Cosmic Baseball will travel to major league stadiums for the first time in 2027, including Globe Life Field in Arlington June 26.
The immersive, blacklight entertainment-sports sensation Cosmic Baseball will come to Major League Baseball stadiums for the first time in 2027, including a stop at Globe Life Field in Arlington on June 26.
The Texas stop will be the start of the major league portion of a tour that will also include visits to Philadelphia, Miami, Tampa Bay, and San Diego.
In total, the "Cosmic Takeover Tour" will feature 146 games in 50 cities in 2027, nearly double the number of games played (74) and up from 30 cities in 2026.
The five major league stadiums will be joined by 45 Minor League Baseball stadiums, with the tour officially starting on March 19 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Minor League stadium stops in Texas include San Antonio on May 1, Sugar Land on June 11 and 12, Round Rock on September 18, El Paso on October 2, Corpus Christi on October 16, and Frisco on October 22 and 23.
The event features specialized teams competing under a full-scale neon display of black-light effects and UV-reactive gear.
Part professional baseball and part immersive performance, Cosmic Baseball transforms traditional ballparks into glowing nighttime shows.
Originating as a one-off event in 2024 by the Tri-City Chili Peppers, a college summer team in Virginia, the concept expanded in 2025 and 2026 to travel to cities nationwide.
To support the 2027 tour expansion, Cosmic Baseball will be adding two new teams that will compete alongside the Cosmic Chili Peppers and the Glow Mojis.
“Having seen the level of demand for tickets following the announcement of the Cosmic Takeover Tour, we had no choice but to explore adding stops so that more fans could enjoy the unique experience of watching a Cosmic Baseball game,” said Chris Martin, Owner and Founder of Cosmic Baseball, in a statement.
“Entering MLB stadiums reflects the belief in Cosmic Baseball and adds a level of credibility to the momentum our players, staff and community have built and continue to maintain.”
Fans must join the ticket lottery for the chance to experience Cosmic Baseball in-person. Those selected will be notified by either text and email, and the opportunity to purchase tickets will exist until the chosen event sells out.
