Alabama, Auburn and North Alabama return to Toyota Field after appearing in the Rocket City Softball Showcase in February 2025, the first-ever softball games played at Toyota Field.

Here’s how the Rocket City Softball Series will work:

Alabama will face North Alabama on Tuesday, March 9, followed by Auburn against Samford on Wednesday, March 10. Both games begin at 6:30PM.

The two nights of college softball will give fans a taste of college softball ahead of the 2027 SEC Softball Tournament, scheduled for May 11-15. Toyota Field will host the conference tournament for the first time in 2027, beginning a four-year run through 2030.

“We’re excited to partner with Peak Events to bring Alabama, Auburn, North Alabama and Samford to Toyota Field for two great nights of softball.

Providing memorable experiences for our community is central to what we do, and this series adds to an exciting spring of college athletics and special events at Toyota Field as we look ahead to the SEC Softball Tournament in May.”

Garrett Fahrmann, executive vice president and general manager, Rocket City Trash Pandas
