Wilson Warbirds Begin 2026 Campaign as Baseball Returns to Wilson
The Wilson Warbirds opened their inaugural season in April 2026, marking the return of Minor League Baseball to Wilson, North Carolina. The team, formerly the Carolina Mudcats, rebranded as the Warbirds and now plays as the Single-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers at the new Wilson Stadium. They secured their franchise’s first victory with a 2–0 Opening Day win, and single-game tickets are now available for the season. The Warbirds name draws on regional aviation history, embodied by their red-tailed hawk mascot and nostalgic design elements. The Wilson Warbirds represent a new chapter for the club and local baseball in Wilson.
