The College of Charleston has released its promotional schedule and group experiences for the 2026 baseball season, marking the program’s 36th year. The upcoming season will feature a range of themed events, giveaways, and activities at Patriots Point.
Among the ongoing promotions are prizes for fans who return foul balls, baseball bingo on Saturdays with prizes for winners, and opportunities for children to run the bases after every Cougars win. Throughout the season, exclusive trading cards will be distributed. On Thursdays when games are scheduled, fans wearing their favorite jerseys can enter a raffle to win a replica Charleston baseball jersey. Members of the Cougar Kids Club will receive one complimentary ticket per member at all home games except for the March 17 game against Clemson; tickets must be claimed at the ticket window on game day and are subject to availability.

For group experiences in 2026, young fans aged twelve or under can participate in activities such as walking onto the field with players during the national anthem as Anthem Buddies or receiving public address shoutouts displayed on the videoboard. These experiences are available at any of thirty-one home games but must be reserved in advance as space is limited.
