2021 Schedule Release
The Evansville Otters will open their 26th season when they visit the Schaumburg Boomers at Wintrust Field in Schaumburg, Ill. on May 27, kicking off the 2021 Frontier League regular season for both teams. The Otters visit the Boomers for two games before heading on a weekend road trip to Lake Erie. Evansville hosts their home opener at Bosse Field June 1-3 against the Gateway Grizzlies. After a six-game road swing, the Otters come back home June 11-20 for a nine-game homestand, their longest homestand of the season.
The Frontier League released the schedule for its 28th season, featuring 16 organizations playing a full 96-game schedule, and including seven new teams as part of the merger between the Frontier League and the former Can-Am League plus two expansion teams. The Frontier League will open its season in May as the largest professional, independent baseball league in North America and returns to action following a canceled 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Every team will start the season Thursday, May 27 for two-game sets before having three-game series the following weekend.
The Frontier League will feature 16 teams in 2021, the most the League has ever had. The previous high was 14 from 2012-15. League alignment features two conferences, the Midwestern and Can-Am Conferences, that are split into two divisions of four teams each. The West Division of Evansville, Florence, Gateway, and Southern Illinois joins the Central Division of Joliet, Lake Erie, Schaumburg, and Windy City in the Midwestern Conference. The Northeast Division of New Jersey, Ottawa, Sussex County, and Washington joins the Atlantic Division of New York, Quebec, Trois-Rivieres, and Tri-City in the Can-Am Conference.
