Traverse City Roller Derby reveals Cherry Rumble Royale 2026 adult rosters

Traverse City Roller Derby posted the adult rosters for Cherry Rumble Royale 2026, and the first names on the card already give the July 25 event real bite. Ann Arbor Roller Derby lands in the field at No. 8 in region and No. 27 overall, Arch Rival Roller Derby checks in at No. 5 overall, and Montreal Roller Derby arrives ranked No. 2 in region and No. 6 overall.

That kind of lineup matters because Cherry Rumble Royale is being sold as more than a local showcase. Traverse City’s event listing calls it Cherry Rumble Royale - Roller Derby Triple Header, and the league also uses the Cherry Rumble Scrimmage name for its annual mixed format. The roster reveal extends beyond the adult field, too, with All Gender and Rookie games part of the announcement.

The ticket plan is simple: $10 in advance and $12 at the door. With ranked programs like Montreal and Arch Rival in the mix, that price difference gives fans a reason to lock in early rather than wait on game day. Ann Arbor’s placement adds another regional benchmark, so the adult field already reads like a real test of depth, not a throwaway exhibition.

The event has also become a recurring date on Traverse City’s derby calendar. One Traverse City Roller Derby page calls it the league’s fourth annual Cherry Rumble Royale mixed scrimmage, while a Northern Express calendar listing identifies a fifth annual Cherry Rumble Royale Mixed Scrimmage for July 25, 2026. Either way, the draw is clear: Traverse City is lining up a roster-heavy afternoon with ranked competition, rookie runouts and mixed-division skating that gives local fans an early look at who is bringing the pace this summer.
