Fresh off an amazing 2026 season, where the Evansville Otters finished 2nd in the Frontier League, the team is already looking ahead to next season with the release of the 2027 schedule.

The Otters open the season on the road with six games in the Chicago area: a weekend series against the Windy City ThunderBolts May 7-9, then a first-ever meeting with new division rival Kane County May 11-13. Then it's back home to Historic Bosse Field on Friday, May 14 to face the Mississippi Mud Monsters, kicking off a nine-game homestand that also brings in Gateway (May 18-20) and Windy City (May 21-23).

The league will again play 102 games, with 51 at home, and four teams from each conference will make the playoffs.
