TULSA, Okla. — Minor league baseball is back in Tulsa.

The Tulsa Drillers and Major League Baseball announced the 2021 schedule will begin tonight, Tuesday, May 4.

Minor league teams didn’t play last season because of the pandemic, leaving Tulsa without a professional baseball season for the first time in nearly 70 years.

An updated minor league scheduling format intended to reduce travel means the Drillers will play the same opponents for longer home and away series.

Tulsa will open the season with six straight home games against Amarillo.

You can see the full Tulsa Drillers schedule here.

The Drillers will play 120 games, finishing the season on September 19th, 2021.

You can buy tickets here.

Tuesday’s game begins at 7:05 p.m.
