MINOT, ND – The Minot Hot Tots and Minot Honeybees have announced their 2026 schedules, setting the stage for another unforgettable season of baseball and softball at Corbett Field.

The Hot Tots will kick off their fourth Northwoods League season on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25) with a 6:35 p.m. matchup against local North Dakota rival Badlands Big Sticks, marking the first opening game in the team’s history without a start against the St. Cloud Rox. This season the Hot Tots will host 36 home games, taking on eight Great Plains Division opponents. 

Two of these games are sure to create standout moments this season: the Hot Tots will hit the road for a pair of special home games in an off-site North Dakota location, marking the town’s first time ever hosting a Northwoods League matchup.

Back for their third season after a historic playoff run, the Honeybees are set to light up Corbett Field with 21 home games in 2026; 5 double headers and 16 single games. They’ll take on familiar foes like their 2025 playoff opponents, the Madison Night Mares, and welcome a new in-state rivalry as the Grand Forks Spitfires make their Northwoods Softball League debut. 

Highlights of the 2026 season include:

• • Season Opener: May 25, 2026, Hot Tots vs. Badlands Big Sticks 
  • In-State Rivalry Games: 17 electrifying home matchups against in-state rivals

• Off Site Location Games: Two Hot Tots games at an off site location in North Dakota

• First-Ever Home Game vs. New In-State Rival: July 7, 2026, Honeybees vs. Grand Forks Spitfires
• Final Home Game: August 4, 2026, Hot Tots vs. Bismarck Larks 

The Hot Tots and Honeybees also look forward to debuting some major changes to the ballpark experience. The largest of these upgrades is a brand-new video board, proudly donated to the Minot Park District by local partner Northern Bottling Co. The video board is set to elevate the game day experience with dynamic visuals designed to bring the energy at Corbett Field to the next level.
