After the 2026 season, the home ballpark of the Detroit Tigers will no longer be called Comerica Park. This change comes as a result of Fifth Third Bancorp's recent acquisition of Comerica Incorporated, the current naming rights holder for the stadium.

Why it matters

The Comerica Park name has been in place since the stadium opened in 2000, so this will mark a significant change for the iconic Detroit venue and the Tigers franchise. The new name is expected to further Fifth Third's brand presence in the Detroit market following the merger.

The details

A spokesperson for Fifth Third Bancorp confirmed that the downtown Detroit stadium will undergo a name change after the 2026 season, when the current Comerica naming rights deal expires. The bank did not provide any details on the new name or branding that will replace Comerica Park.

  • Comerica Park has been the name of the Tigers' home stadium since it opened in 2000.
  • Fifth Third Bancorp completed its acquisition of Comerica Incorporated earlier in 2026.
