LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville City FC has released its list of promotional theme nights for the 2026 season, with single-game tickets now available for purchase.
The season opens Saturday, March 14, at 4 p.m. against Miami FC. Gates at Lynn Family Stadium will open at 2:30 p.m. for early arrivals. The first 2,000 fans will receive a roller banner giveaway, and local band Bourbon Revival is scheduled to perform. A brief fireworks display will take place as teams take the field.
The club’s full promotional calendar includes returning events such as “Fill the Fam,” “Pups at the Pitch,” “Noche Latina,” and its annual Fourth of July match. LouCity will also host a game the same day as Thunder Over Louisville, giving fans an option to attend both the match and the city’s annual air show and fireworks display.
Gates will generally open 90 minutes before kickoff this season. A family-friendly Fan Zone in the stadium’s north end will include inflatables, a mini pitch, and other activities.
Tickets are available through LouCity.com, the SeatGeek app, or by calling (502) LOU-CITY.
