When do the Washington Wolfpack play next at Angel of the Winds Arena? The Washington Wolfpack host the Albany Firebirds on Saturday, May 2 at 3:00 PM PT at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett. It’s Teacher’s Night with a drawstring bag giveaway. The game airs on VICE TV nationally and Fox 13+ locally.
The Washington Wolfpack’s home season kicks into gear on Saturday, and the opponent couldn’t be more significant.
After a rough Week 3 road opener — a 48-3 loss to the Nashville Kats that the Wolfpack would like to forget — Everett’s indoor football team returns to Angel of the Winds Arena on Saturday, May 2 at 3:00 PM PT to face the Albany Firebirds, the defending Arena Crown champions. It’s Teacher’s Night, there’s a drawstring bag giveaway for the first fans through the door, and the game airs on VICE TV and Fox 13+.
Who Are the Albany Firebirds?
Let this sink in: in 2025, the Albany Firebirds went 10-0 in the regular season. Undefeated. Then they beat the Nashville Kats 60-57 in the Arena Crown championship.
They are, in every sense, the defending champions — and they are very good. Coming into 2026, Albany enters as the team everyone is chasing. A perfect regular-season record plus a championship means they carry a target on their back, but they’ve earned every bit of it. For the Wolfpack, hosting the Firebirds this early in the season is a chance to make a statement — or a measure of exactly where the roster stands after the Nashville result.
The Wolfpack Need a Statement Right Now
Let’s be direct: a 48-3 loss on the road in Nashville was a rough start to Arena Football One play. Nashville’s Kats had already shown they were one of the hotter early-season teams in the league, but getting held to three points against anyone is a tough look for a team building a fanbase in Everett.
The good news about indoor football: it’s fast, it’s high-scoring, and one game of good execution changes the narrative entirely. A competitive showing — or better, a win — against the defending Arena Crown champions at AOTW would do exactly that.
The Wolfpack home building is a different animal from a road trip to Nashville. Everett fans who fill Angel of the Winds Arena are loud, and indoor football’s compact atmosphere makes crowd noise a genuine factor. Saturday is the moment to flip the script.
Teacher’s Night — Bring an Educator You Know
It’s Teacher’s Night at AOTW on May 2. The Wolfpack are rolling out a drawstring bag giveaway — Applebee’s is the presenting sponsor for the promotional night — so arrive early if you want one. These giveaways go fast at Wolfpack home games.
If you’ve never brought a teacher, coach, or educator friend to an AF1 game, this is the Saturday to do it. Indoor football at AOTW moves at a pace that hooks first-timers: constant action, walls in play, scoring drives that take 30 seconds. A Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM kickoff with a giveaway and defending champions on the field is about as good an introduction as you’ll find.
Watch on VICE TV or Fox 13+
Can’t make it in person? The game airs nationally on VICE TV and locally on Fox 13+ in the Seattle-Everett market. Arena Football One’s partnership with VICE has been one of the surprises of the league’s broadcast strategy — it reaches a young, sports-curious audience that’s perfect for AF1’s brand of football. Fox 13+ keeps local fans covered.
Kickoff is at 3:00 PM PT on Saturday. Set a reminder.

The Bigger Picture for Indoor Football in Everett
The Washington Wolfpack are building something in a market that loves sports and has been underserved in the spring and early-summer sports calendar. While the AquaSox are on the road at Tri-City and the Silvertips are in their pre-Championship Final waiting period, the Wolfpack are holding down the arena on Saturday afternoon.
This spring in Everett sports has been unusually stacked — Silvertips heading to the WHL Championship Final, AquaSox in a competitive Northwest League season, and now a Wolfpack team that has a chance to make a real statement against one of the best teams in AF1.
Saturday is one of those afternoons worth clearing your schedule for. 3:00 PM. Angel of the Winds Arena. Teacher’s Night. Defending champions.
