  1. ^ The Houston SaberCats played their first four games of the 2019 season at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas, home of the Sugar Land Skeeters in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. All remaining home games were planned to be played at Aveva Stadium, however due to the state of the turf after the first match there, the next home match was moved to Dyer Stadium. All home matches after that were played at AVEVA Stadium.
