Cosmic Baseball, an immersive, glow-in-the-dark baseball experience that’s seen its popularity skyrocket over the last two years, recently announced its 2027 Takeover Tour stops, with plans to return to both Fresno and Sacramento for second consecutive year.
After debuting in Colonial Heights, Virginia, in 2024, Cosmic Baseball launched its inaugural tour in 2025, hitting seven Minor League Baseball stadiums. The Cosmic Chili Peppers and their rivals, the Glow Mojis, are currently wrapping up a hugely successful follow-up tour that saw them sell out 74 games across 30 markets in 2026, playing in front of more than 750,000 fans.
The 2027 schedule expands the tour further to 44 Minor League Baseball parks, including return to Fresno’s Chukchansi Park, where they played two games in August, and Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, where they kicked off their penultimate series of the 2026 season on Oct. 8..
A story from KSEE24/CBS47+ leading up to this summer’s games in Fresno gives a glimpse at all the fun fans can expect at a Cosmic Baseball game, glow-in-the-dark merch included.
Cosmic Baseball gives a new meaning to playing under the lights, with the Chili Peppers and Glow Mojis facing off under black lights and using UV-reactive gear that puts on a show of its own, plus live DJs and interactive fan engagement that turn the game into a viral experience.
“The energy on our 2026 tour was absolutely electric, blowing past every expectation we set,” Chris Martin, owner and founder of Cosmic Baseball, said in the Oct. 6 announcement. “For 2027, we’ve dialed up the production, added groundbreaking new in-game features, and created a glowing nighttime performance that fans will be talking about long after the final light goes out.”
The Cosmic Chili Peppers began as the Tri-City Chili Peppers, a college summer team in the Coastal Plain League that started hosting glow-in-the-dark night games to boost attendance in 2024. The viral sensation spurred a waitlist of more than 50,000 fans, which inspired the creation of the Chili Peppers Baseball Organization and the Takeover Tour in 2025.
That waitlist only grows as the organization expands, so if you’re interested in seeing the Chili Peppers take on the Glow Mojis in either Fresno or Sacramento next year, the earlier you enter the Cosmic Lottery, the better.
More information regarding dates and ticketing will be announced soon.
