Article Summary

  • One Piece Night returns to Dodger Stadium on July 2 as the Dodgers face the Padres in a major anime crossover event.
  • The One Piece-themed game night includes a pregame Centerfield Plaza activation, ceremonial first pitch, and drone show.
  • Dodgers fans should arrive early, with the first 40,000 attendees receiving a co-branded One Piece straw hat giveaway.
  • After last year’s hit promotion, the Dodgers and Toei are teaming up again for another big One Piece celebration.

Following the success of last season's event, MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers and Toei Animation Inc. are reuniting for a "One Piece" promotion night at Dodger Stadium on July 2nd (when the Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres). Created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece has become a global phenomenon, expanding from the original manga into anime, live-action adaptations, and more. Similar to what went down in 2025, this season's night will include a pregame activation in Centerfield Plaza, a ceremonial first pitch, and a postgame drone show featuring characters from the series. In addition, the first 40,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a co-branded straw hat with a chin strap, and possibly a new card based on promotional art released (looks at both are waiting for you below).
