The 2026 MLB season has reached its halfway point as the calendar flips to July, and summer is in full swing. Trips to the ballpark are a very fun part of the summer months, and teams make it especially fun to go watch a game in person with fantastic giveaways and promotions. There’s some tremendous merch that fans can take home in July, be it jerseys, bobbleheads or something for the kids. 

Top MLB promotions and giveaways for July 2026

With SeatGeek serving as the Official Ticket Marketplace of MLB, here are some of the most intriguing giveaways for July that you should plan your trip to the ballpark around this month. 

Fourth of July

Kansas City Royals: Red, White and Bobby Bobblehead (first 25,000 fans) – July 4 vs. Philadelphia Phillies 

Baseball is a fun sport with how it pairs up with national holidays, including the Fourth of July. This year’s holiday is the 250th edition in our nation’s storied history, and clubs are going all out with giveaways on this special day. The Royals have one of the more intriguing promotions of the day with their Red, White and Bobby bobblehead giveaway, which features star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. decked out in American flag-themed clothing while BBQing some hot dogs and hanging out with a bald eagle. Check out our breakdown of all the top Fourth of July promotions across MLB here. 

For the kids

It’s always fun to enjoy a ballgame with children, and these clubs are offering some awesome promotions this month that are sure to make your kiddo happy even before first pitch occurs. 

Atlanta Braves: Drake Baldwin Rookie Of The Year Mini Bobblehead (first 3,000 kids) – July 5 vs. New York Mets

The Braves have had some fantastic giveaways this year for kiddos, and they continue their “mini” bobblehead series with Baldwin, the reigning Rookie of the Year in the National League. The star catcher and designated hitter has been a key part of Atlanta’s success this year, and he figures to be a building block moving forward. The first 3,000 kids to visit Truist Park on July 5 will get to take home this great mini bobblehead. 

Chicago Cubs: Clark The Cub Building Block Set (first 5,000 kids 13 and under) – July 5 vs. St. Louis Cardinals

I love mascots, and I loved building sets when I was a kid. The Cubs combined these on July 5 with a block set of Clark the Cub, the team’s beloved mascot. The first 5,000 kids 13 and under will get to take home this set and build their very own Clark the Cub, perfect for sitting on the shelf next to your favorite Cubs bobbleheads.

San Francisco Giants: SpongeBob SquarePants Hat (first 20,000 fans) – July 12 vs. Colorado Rockies 

This one technically isn’t a kids-centric promotion, but come on – it’s SpongeBob we’re talking about. The beloved sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea is the star of this offer, with the first 20,000 fans taking home a Giants cap that features the Krusty Krab frycook playing baseball on the front. 

Arizona Diamondbacks: Baxter Ears Cap (first 5,000 kids) – July 19 vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Another fun mascot-oriented giveaway takes place July 19 in Arizona when the Diamondbacks host the Cardinals. This one celebrates Baxter, the Dbacks’ bobcat mascot, as the first 5,000 kids will receive a Diamondbacks hat that has ears just like Baxter’s atop the cap. 

Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic Cap (kids 14 and under) – July 26 vs. New York Yankees

Phillies vs. Yankees is reason enough to head to Citizens Bank Park on July 26, but the youngsters will especially be wanting to check out this game considering the promotion the Phillies are running. Kids 14 and under will get a sweet snapback cap that says “Philadelphia Phillies” on it with the legendary mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, prominently featured as well. 

Bobbleheads

Few promotions get fans to the park like bobblehead giveaway days, and these five bobbleheads are absolute must-haves for baseball fans. 

Detroit Tigers Tarik Skubal Back2Back Cy Young bobble (limited quantities) – July 7 and 8 vs. Athletics

It’s hard to find a pitcher with a better two-year stretch than Skubal had in 2024 and 2025. The electric lefty won the AL Cy Young in each of those seasons, and while injuries will prevent him from achieving a three-peat, Skubal is still one of baseball’s must-watch players. The Tigers are celebrating Skubal’s brilliance on July 7 and 8 when the A’s are in town with a Skubal Back2Back bobblehead that features Detroit’s city skyline. 

San Diego Padres: Trevor Hoffman Bobblehead (first 40,000 fans) – July 8 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

When you think of closers, you likely think of flamethrowers with elite fastballs and wicked wipeout breaking balls. Hoffman was a different breed, though, as his devastating changeup baffled hitters and earned the Padres a ton of close wins over his historic career. The Padres will give away 40,000 bobbleheads in Hoffman’s honor against the Diamondbacks on July 8.

St. Louis Cardinals: David Eckstein Bobblehead (first 15,000 fans 13 and up) – July 11 vs. Atlanta Braves 

The 2006 Cardinals were one of the most improbable World Series winners in recent memory. They won just 83 games but got hot late in the year and won the World Series over Detroit. They had plenty of star power, but with just 83 regular-season wins, it was an underdog tale of sorts. It was only fitting that undersized shortstop David Eckstein won World Series MVP honors. The Cardinals are celebrating the 20th anniversary of that World Series title, and on July 11, they’ll give out 15,000 Eckstein bobbleheads that display him at the plate with “MVP” to the side of him.

Tampa Bay Rays: Evan Longoria Bobblecard (first 10,000 fans) – July 12 vs. Seattle Mariners

The Rays have had some incredible players over their short history, but Longoria is, in my opinion, the clear No. 1 guy to have donned a Tampa Bay uniform. The former third baseman was a perennial All-Star who you could sharpie in for 25 home runs and 80 RBIs each and every year while playing stellar defense at the hot corner. The Rays are giving out “bobblecards” – a bobblehead that also looks like a baseball card – of this beloved franchise icon when the Mariners come to town on July 12. 

Chicago White Sox: Munetaka Murakami First MLB Home Run Bobblehead (first 15,000 fans) – July 26 vs. Houston Astros

Murakami took the league by storm over the first two-plus months of the 2026 season as he showed he was more than capable of dominating against MLB pitching after a historic career in Japan. The slugging first baseman has been a key part of Chicago’s resurgence after years of middling play, and the White Sox have an awesome giveaway on tap for July 26 that immortalizes Murakami’s first MLB home run – the first of many, to be sure.

This is elite

Simply as good as it gets for an MLB giveaway.

Milwaukee Brewers: Brewers Guess Who (first 25,000 fans) – July 25 vs. Colorado Rockies

Board game nights with the family and friends are always a great time, and one of the more iconic games of all time is Guess Who. The Brewers are partnering with Hasbro for a special edition of Guess Who that features the team’s players and coaches. The first 25,000 fans for this July 25 matchup with the Rockies will take home this one-of-a-kind giveaway that is sure to make your fellow Brewers fans very jealous. 

Jerseys

Be it legends or current superstars, it’s always nice to have a jersey of your favorite player. These three teams will make a lot of fans happy this month as they honor some greats – current and former – with jersey giveaway days. 

Minnesota Twins: Kirby Puckett Jersey (first 10,000 fans) – July 25 vs. A’s

Few players are more important or iconic when it comes to the Twins than Puckett. The star outfielder enjoyed a Hall-of-Fame career in Minnesota and was a key part of two World Series teams. The Twins will honor this franchise legend on July 25 against the A’s as the first 10,000 fans get a Puckett jersey. It’s a throwback baby blue jersey, too, which is always in style. 

New York Mets: Carlos Beltran Jersey (first 15,000 fans) – July 27 vs. Atlanta Braves

Beltran had a legendary career across 20 years and seven teams, but he played more games for the Mets than any other franchise. The switch-hitting outfielder is one of the best players to suit up for the Mets, and he racked up 31.1 bWAR over seven seasons in New York. The Mets will give away a white Beltran No. 15 jersey to the first 15,000 fans for a rivalry clash with the Braves on July 27.

Houston Astros: Yordan Alvarez Navy Jersey (first 10,000 fans) – July 31 vs. Texas Rangers

Few hitters are more dangerous than Houston’s Alvarez, and after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign, the star slugger has been on fire in 2026 and is vying for both AL MVP honors and the Triple Crown. Alvarez has instilled fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers everywhere, and he’s a beloved figure in Houston. Ten thousand Astros fans will get a navy blue Alvarez jersey to take home, and given how he’s played thus far, they may be taking home the jersey of a future MVP. 

Feel like a champion

People naturally gravitate towards greatness, and everyone wants to be – or feel like – a champion in some way, shape or form. With these three promotions, you can!

Athletics: Championship Belt Bag (while supplies last) – July 17 vs. Nationals

This one is a bit different than the next two we’ll look at, but it’s certainly one of the cooler giveaways of the month. When the Athletics host the Nationals on July 17, fans can get a Championship Belt Bag that has the A’s logo on the front and WWE logos on the side. It looks quite a bit like a replica championship belt, though this is a bit more practical as you can store things in the front pouch while still looking the part of a champ. 

Toronto Blue Jays: Set of ‘92 and ‘93 World Series Replica Rings (first 15,000 fans) – July 18 vs. Chicago White Sox

The Blue Jays reached the top of the baseball mountaintop in the early 1990s with back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 over the Braves and Phillies, respectively. The Jays haven’t won a World Series since – though they were this close last year – so those back-to-back title winners still hold a very special place in team history. The team is giving away replica rings from both World Series-winning teams, with the first 15,000 fans taking home a pair of rings on July 18.

Los Angeles Dodgers: World Series Player Rings (first 40,000 fans) – July 28 vs. Seattle Mariners 

The Dodgers are looking for a rare three-peat in terms of World Series victories, and their 2025 title run was legendary. They’ve been celebrating that victory all season long with various promotions, and the Dodgers will give away replica rings from the 2025 title-winning team on July 28 against the Mariners. Rather than giving out replica rings that all look the same, the Dodgers are taking it a step further as fans will receive a replica ring that features a player’s name and number. It’s a blind box giveaway, meaning you won’t know which player you get until you open the box up. Some players include Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Potterheads, unite!

Harry Potter holds a special place in the hearts of many, and Potterheads are certainly chomping at the bit for the HBO show that releases in December. The Yankees and Nationals are getting Harry Potter fans ready with these unique giveaways in July. 

New York Yankees: Aaron Judge Harry Potter Houses Bobblehead (first 18,000 fans) – July 21 vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Hufflepuff? Ravenclaw? Slytherin? Gryffindor? Which house will you get? The first 18,000 fans for the Yankees’ July 21 matchup with the Pirates get a special Harry Potter-themed giveaway as they’ll take home an Aaron Judge bobblehead of him sporting the Hogwarts houses’ colors. You don’t need a Sorting Hat for this one – just walk through the gate and open your box!

Washington Nationals: Harry Potter Day Tank (20,000 fans) – July 25 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

July 25 is Harry Potter Day in our nation’s capital as 20,000 fans will receive a special Harry Potter tank top. It’s red and gold in the style of Potter’s Gryffindor house, and it features the Nationals’ iconic “W” logo as well as the Hogwarts coat of arms. It’s a perfect piece of swag for Potterheads who are also looking to stay cool this summer.
