Lake Elsinore Storm Set For Final Homestand Begins Sept. 1: What To Know

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — The Lake Elsinore Storm will close their 2026 regular-season home schedule with six games against the Inland Empire 66ers beginning Tuesday at The Diamond.

The Single-A team is an affiliate of the San Diego Padres and has already secured a place in the California League playoffs after winning the South Division’s first-half championship.

The team's first-half success came before the Padres promoted several Lake Elsinore players to higher levels of the organization. The revamped Storm roster has struggled during the second half, however.

The California League playoffs will begin with a best-of-three South Division series. Lake Elsinore will face the eventual second-half South Division winner, which has not yet been determined. The division winner will advance to a best-of-three California League Championship Series.

The Storm are selling 2026 playoff tickets through the team’s official website.
