The Indianapolis Indians, Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, are gearing up for a thrilling 2025 season packed with themed nights, fan-friendly promotions and plenty of action at Victory Field.
Fresh off a memorable 2024 campaign highlighted by the electric performances of Paul Skenes — who dazzled in Indianapolis before becoming a star in the majors — the Indians are ready to build on last year’s momentum.
The 2025 schedule is loaded with fan favorites, including Thirsty Thursday (April 3, May 8, June 12 and more), Friday Fireworks (April 4, May 9, June 13 and select Fridays) and Kids Eat Free Sundays (April 6, May 11, June 15 and beyond.)
Special events like Bark in the Park (April 17, May 29, July. 24), Indy 500 Night (April 19) and Harry Potter Weekend (July 12-13) promise unique experiences for fans of all ages.
The season kicks off with opening night on April 1 against the Iowa Cubs, followed by Half-Off Wednesday Night (April 2) and a Tour Schedule T-Shirt Giveaway (April 5.)
Last season also saw the retirement of Razor Shines’ jersey, honoring the franchise legend and continued improvements to Victory Field, ensuring a top-tier experience for attendees.
With a mix of weekday dollar menus, weekend giveaways and themed celebrations like Star Wars Night (May 31) and Marvel Super Hero Night (Aug. 29), the Indians are set to deliver another unforgettable summer of baseball.
