It’s time to play ball! The Charleston RiverDogs will open the gates to fans for home opening night on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:05 pm at “The Joe” when they welcome the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to the Holy City. Plan to come out and cheer on the RiverDogs baseball team!
The RiverDogs, long known for the fun and value delivered through weekly promotions like Thirsty Thursday and Fireworks Fridays, are taking things a step further in celebration of America’s 250th birthday with a brand-new slate of night-of-the-week promotions in 2026. For the first time, the team will host Wiener Wednesdays for all Wednesday evening games, when fans can get two hot dogs for just 50 cents, and leveled-up Dog Day Tuesdays feature 2-for-1 tickets and a dog-themed t-shirt giveaway each week.
It’s all part of the team’s 66 home game calendar at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, themed “Land of the free, Home of the fun,” which kicks off on April 2nd’s Opening Night.

The Charleston RiverDogs are the Single-A Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. They play in the Joseph P. Riley Stadium, also known as “The Joe”, which sits near the Ashley River and catches the breezes from the river and adjoining marshland. It has been rated one of the best stadiums in the minor league and collegiate levels. (The Citadel baseball team plays there as well.)
