The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs will open the 2026 ALPB Championship season at Regency Furniture Stadium, hosting the Staten Island Ferry Hawks to a three-game series beginning Tuesday, Apr. 21. It is part of a home-and-home series, where games from Apr. 21-23 will be played in Waldorf and games on Apr. 24-26 will be played in Staten Island.
The Blue Crabs will host ten weekend series in Southern Maryland, including May 1-3 (High Point), May 15-17 (Hagerstown), May 29-31 (Staten Island), June 12-14 (Long Island), June 26-28 (High Point), July 3-5 (Long Island), July 17-19 (Charleston), Jul. 31-Aug. 2 (Lancaster), Aug. 14-16 (Lexington), and Aug. 28-30 (Gastonia).
