The Atlanta Braves on March 24 revealed at its annual media day details about new and upgraded spaces, innovations, food options, and game day elements fans can expect when visiting Truist Park and the Battery Atlanta this season.
The 2026 campaign marks the 60th year of Braves baseball, which will be celebrated with special events throughout the season.
On March 27 – the home opener against Kansas City – the Braves will kick off those celebrations with appearances from six alumni representing each decade, including Joe Torre (1960s), Ralph Garr (1970s), Dale Murphy (1980s), Sid Bream (1990s), Chipper Jones (2000s) and Brian McCann (2010s).
What’s new in 2026
Braves President Derek Schiller, while welcoming the media to the ballpark, announced BravesVision’s first cable partner, Spectrum, with more partner announcements forthcoming.
BravesVision will produce more than 140 games during the regular season, with fans in the organization’s six-state territory able to watch without blackouts through video service providers or streaming services, according to a release from the Braves organization.
Braves officials also announced several ticket deals throughout the season, like spring value games in March and April and value packs that include game tickets, a drink and a snack for as low as $30.
The March 24 media preview highlighted “the installation of new stadium lighting, which features upgraded theatrical lighting that allows for colored floodlights, moving intelligent lighting capable of projecting logos and textures onto the field, and spotlights.”
Media toured new entertainment and seating venues at Truist Park, like the Launching Pad – six private, open-air boxes seating up to 25 fans each. Media in attendance also checked out the South End Trading Company, a new store inside the right field gate featuring collectibles, game-used memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind mementos in its “Vault Room.”
Look for the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Park Toddler Space, a new soft play area for young children, to debut this summer in the 30,000-square-foot family zone.
