SaberCats Home Games Set for Saturday Evenings

by Sports Information Staff

SAN JOSE, CA -- The San Jose SaberCats are thrilled to announce that all home games for the 2025 season will take place on Saturday evenings, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 PM local time. This exciting announcement is part of the SaberCats' ongoing effort to enhance the fan experience, drive attendance, and create a more predictable and engaging atmosphere for the entire San Jose community.


By locking in Saturday nights for all home games, the SaberCats establish a consistent tradition that fans can rely on throughout the season. The 6:30 PM kickoff strikes a perfect balance, allowing families to attend without conflicting with early morning activities while giving fans ample time to enjoy pre-game festivities and tailgating.


The decision to standardize game times came after feedback from the SaberCats contacted the public, where community members expressed a desire for stability in the team's schedule. Fans noted that teams with varying game times and dates make planning difficult, impacting attendance and overall engagement. With this move, the SaberCats are responding directly to the community, showing their commitment to making game days an essential part of San Jose's weekend entertainment.


Saturday nights will offer more than football. The SaberCats plan to expand their fan engagement initiatives, providing pre-game entertainment, live music, local food vendors, and family-friendly activities. Tailgating areas will open earlier, creating a festive atmosphere that encourages fans to make the most of their game-day experience.

Additionally, the SaberCats will host special theme nights throughout the season, including Youth Sports Night, Military Appreciation Night, and Fan Appreciation Night. These events will add an extra layer of excitement and connection between the team and its supporters.


The consistent Saturday night schedule isn't just a win for SaberCats fans; it's a positive development for the greater San Jose community. Local businesses are expected to benefit from the increased foot traffic on game days as fans visit nearby restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues. The SaberCats are partnering with local businesses to offer exclusive discounts and promotions for ticket holders, further integrating the team into the city's economic and cultural fabric.


SaberCats fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and plan their game-day experiences. The full 2025 season schedule will be released soon, but rest assured, every home game will take place on a Saturday at 6:30 PM. Season ticket packages, single-game tickets, and group packages will be available for purchase in the coming weeks.
