After a successful postgame drone show in 2025, the Reading Fightin Phils will double the fun this upcoming season.
The club announced on Wednesday that there will be two drone shows this coming season.
The first show will be Saturday, June 13, following a 6:45 p.m. first pitch against the Portland Sea Dogs, Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. The show will celebrate the country’s 250th birthday, featuring a variety of images honoring the founding of the country in 1776.
The second drone show is Saturday, Aug. 29, also following a 6:45 p.m. first pitch, against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets. The show will celebrate 60 seasons of Phillies and R-Phils affiliation, along with a special “Swifties Celebration,” featuring themed images from both celebrations.
Last season’s drone show was the first in R-Phils history, drawing a crowd of 9,691 fans to FirstEnergy Statdium, the most since the 2018 season.
The Fightin Phils return to FirstEnergy Stadium to open the 2026 season on Tuesday, April 7 against the Hartford Yard Goats (Rockies).
