Catch the Ohio Roller Derby in Action

Ohio Roller Derby is back for the 20th season, and you’re going to want to catch one of these fun, high-energy games!

Your whole family will enjoy this fast action full-contact sport, and each bout on the schedule is a double header, so you’ll get 2 bouts for the price of one!

New for 2025

The theme of the season is OHRD: The Heart of Derby — a celebration of our identity, history, and love for our sport, with a nod to Ohio’s state tourism slogan. 

Due to construction at the fairgrounds, the season will be split into 2 parts. There will be three games in February and March, and the second half with three games later this year.

The team prides themselves on being accessible to their fans, so flag them down if you see them roll past, or stop by autograph table.  They are happy to sign autographs, take photos, and talk derby.  Bouts are kid-friendly, so bring the whole family.
