The Bradenton Marauders’ 2021 schedule was announced Thursday.

That six-game series starts Tuesday, May 4.

The schedule is 120 games, split evenly between home and road games, with every Monday during the season listed as a league-wide day off. The Marauders play in the Southeast League’s West Division alongside the Clearwater Threshers (Philadelphia Phillies), Dunedin Blue Jays (Toronto Blue Jays), Fort Myers (Twins), Lakeland Flying Tigers (Detroit Tigers) and the Tampa Tarpons (New York Yankees).

The Marauders also face three East Division opponents this season, and they are the Daytona Tortugas (Cincinnati Reds), Jupiter Hammerheads (Miami Marlins) and the Palm Beach Cardinals (St. Louis Cardinals).

The season concludes Sept. 19. Game times, promotions and ticket information will be announced at a later date.
