Discounted Tickets, Merch and Promotional Giveaways Highlight Peoria City Finale Saturday
(JULY 10, 2026 | PEORIA, IL) – Peoria City will pay tribute to its dedicated fan base and will celebrate a trio of championship seasons when the nationally-ranked Carp host local rival Springfield FC in the 2026 USL League Two regular-season finale Saturday night at Shea Stadium.
Fan Appreciation Night, presented by Molly Maid, will feature half-priced game tickets, promotional fan giveaways and discounts on select Peoria City merchandise. In addition to celebrating Peoria City’s 2026 Great Plains Division title, the first division championship in club history, the Carp also will honor the Peoria Rivermen’s 2025-26 SPHL Presidents Cup and the Morton High School Girls Soccer Team, which captured conference, regional, sectional and super sectional championships on the way to runner-up in the 2026 IHSA Class 2A state championship.
Having already clinched the Great Plains Division title with the best single-season points total (28) in club history, #15 Peoria City (9-1-1) will be shooting for its first-ever 10-win regular season Saturday night against Springfield FC. The club also is attempting to celebrate the trio of championships in front of the largest regular-season crowd in club history, a mark set July 2, 2025 against Des Moines Menace (2,053).
