Quick answer: The Everett AquaSox open a six-game home series against the Spokane Indians on Tuesday, April 21 at Funko Field. First pitch is 7:05 PM. The series runs Tuesday through Sunday, April 26, and features Sunday’s popular Family Day doubleheader wrap. Tickets start in the low teens and every game offers the classic Funko Field experience — kid-friendly, affordable, and some of the best prospect-watching in the Pacific Northwest.
The Rematch Everett Has Been Waiting For
The AquaSox opened the 2026 season on the road at Avista Stadium in Spokane back on April 3. Everett dropped the opener 4-1. They came back the next night behind three solo home runs to take their first win of the year. And they nearly completed a historic eight-run comeback before losing the series finale 10-9 in 10 innings. Three games against Spokane, and all three were memorable.
Now the Indians come to Funko Field for the rematch, and the vibe is completely different. Everett has settled in. The pitching has started to look the way Mariners farm-system watchers thought it would. Colton Shaw went six innings with seven strikeouts and zero walks in the first Tri-City home series. The lineup is figuring out where it needs to be. This six-game stretch is going to tell us a lot about what the AquaSox actually are in 2026.
The Schedule: Six Games in Six Days
- Tuesday, April 21 — First pitch 7:05 PM
- Wednesday, April 22 — First pitch 7:05 PM
- Thursday, April 23 — First pitch 7:05 PM (Thirsty Thursday)
- Friday, April 24 — First pitch 7:05 PM (postgame fireworks)
- Saturday, April 25 — First pitch 7:05 PM

Friday and Saturday nights are the ones that will feel the most electric. April in Everett is finally giving us the kind of evenings where you can walk out to Funko Field without three layers. The fireworks show after Friday’s game is one of the best events of the minor-league year in the Pacific Northwest.
Prospect Watch: Who to Watch This Week
The Seattle Mariners’ player development system has made Everett one of the best prospect stops in affiliated baseball. This series against Spokane is a great chance to see the names who are going to be at T-Mobile Park in a year or two.
Felnin Celesten, SS
One of the Mariners’ premier international signings. Smooth actions at shortstop and a bat that’s starting to come alive in his first extended taste of High-A pitching. Watch him in the 5-6 hole against Spokane right-handers.
Lazaro Montes, OF
The big left-handed power bat the entire Mariners farm system has been talking about for two years. Montes is here, he’s healthy, and Funko Field’s dimensions are going to get wrecked a few times this week if he connects.
Michael Arroyo, 2B
A disciplined middle-infield bat who’s been running into barrels early this year. Arroyo’s plate discipline is the kind that shows up at the big-league level first. Worth an at-bat-by-at-bat watch.
Colton Shaw, RHP
Shaw’s command has been the best thing about the early Everett pitching staff. His start this week is going to be one of the ones to plan your trip around.
Why Funko Field in April Is the Move
A week-night AquaSox game is a three-hour, $25-for-two-people experience where the parking is easy, the food is affordable, you can actually hear your kid yell when a ball gets put in play, and you walk out the gate at 10 PM into a 60-degree April night with the Port of Everett lights across the bluff. That is the case for showing up to Funko Field as a local.
This isn’t Mariners baseball. But it’s real baseball. The kind where you can tell who’s going to be great before the rest of the country finds out. The Mariners of the next few years — the guys who’ll be on the 40-man roster when the AL West race tightens up in 2027 and 2028 — are hitting in Everett right now. Get out to a game before the Funko Field era ends and the new downtown stadium takes over.
What the AquaSox Need This Week
Look — Spokane is a tough draw. They swept the early-season series in their building. The Indians’ pitching is deep, and their lineup is aggressive in counts. Everett needs to win the starting-pitching matchup two out of six nights, they need their bullpen to stop giving up two-out hits, and they need at least one big series from the middle of the order.
Four out of six at home is the realistic goal this week. Anything less than that and the AquaSox come out of the stretch under .500 on the year. Anything more and this team starts looking like the Northwest League playoff contender we expected.
