Orlando Roller Derby put its 2026 home game schedule on its upcoming-events page and anchored it at Barnett Park Gym, 4801 W Colonial Dr in Orlando. The same page paired the schedule with 2026 Roller Derby Info Sessions, turning the home slate into both a calendar for fans and a recruiting push for the league’s next wave.

The most specific of those recruitment dates was 2026 Roller Derby Info Session 3, held July 19 at 11 a.m. at Barnett Park Gym, 4801 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32808. The session promised that no experience was necessary and that all experience was welcomed. It also laid out exactly what newcomers would learn: what roller derby is, what training looks like, and how to get started as a skater, official or volunteer.

That blend of game planning and onboarding fits the way Orlando is framing its 2026 season. On its season page, the league said it is excited for a packed 2026 season, with new skaters leveling up, harder-hitting bouts, bigger home games, community partnerships, and events, collabs and surprises all season long. The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association listing places Orlando Roller Derby in Orlando, Florida, United States of America and identifies its teams as the Ozone Slayers and Sun Blockers.

Barnett Park Gym is already familiar ground for the league. Orlando Roller Derby’s 2025 season archive shows the same address hosted a home doubleheader on Mar. 15, 2025, giving the 2026 announcement a sense of continuity as the league builds around a venue it has used before. A 2023 home-game post also showed how the league has handled access at the door, with tickets set at $10 and kids 12 and under admitted free.

For Orlando, the significance is not just that a home schedule is on the books. By putting the slate beside information sessions, the league is making its next home dates do more than fill a gym. It is using those nights to bring in skaters, officials and volunteers, while giving fans a clear place to watch the Ozone Slayers and Sun Blockers carry the season forward at Barnett Park Gym.
