The Cardinals Caravan is making plans for the 2026 tour, which takes place Jan. 16 and 17. The dates are the same time as the Winter Warm-Up in St. Louis at Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village– so there will be a lot of Cardinal baseball available to the collective Cardinal Nation.

The Cardinals Caravan will travel to 15 different cities across Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Indiana over the course of four days. A combination of more than 30 current Cardinals players, prospects, alumni and team broadcasters will embark on one of five different caravans through Cardinal Nation from January 16-19.
