What is Dodgers ONE PIECE Night?
ONE PIECE Night is a one-day stadium promotion hosted by the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. The ballpark is decked out in the world of ONE PIECE, with a pregame activation in the Centerfield Plaza, photo ops and character greetings, a ceremonial first pitch, and a postgame drone show featuring fan-favorite characters flying over the stadium.
The 2026 edition takes place on Thursday, July 2, 2026, when the Dodgers host the San Diego Padres. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. PT at Dodger Stadium (branded “UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium” for the promotion). The event is the product of an official partnership between the Dodgers and Toei Animation, renewed after a successful debut in 2025.

The giveaway: straw hat and Luffy promo card
The centerpiece is a two-item giveaway for early-arriving fans. Based on the Dodgers’ announcement and multiple reports, here is what is included.
1. Co-branded straw hat
A wearable Dodgers x ONE PIECE straw hat modeled on Luffy’s iconic headwear, carrying both brand logos. The 2026 version is reported to add a chin strap, making it easier to actually wear at the ballpark. When the Dodgers first revealed the merch, the “Luffy’s straw hat” reveal drew a big reaction across social media.
2. Limited-edition promo card (Luffy DON!! card)
The second item is a limited ONE PIECE Card Game promo card. The 2026 version is a Monkey D. Luffy DON!! card, showing Luffy in a Dodgers uniform gripping a bat, ready to swing at an incoming pitch. It is a special event-exclusive promo, and because it is a playable DON!! card for the ONE PIECE Card Game, it is especially sought after by collectors and players alike.
At the inaugural 2025 event, a Luffy promo card featuring artwork tied to the game was also handed out and became a major talking point among fans and card collectors worldwide. The 2026 card continues that tradition.
Note: secondary-market resale prices fluctuate heavily and are not covered here. The primary way to obtain the items is to attend in person and enter early. For the card’s in-game playability and rules, refer to the official ONE PIECE Card Game site.
How to get the giveaway: tickets and rules
The biggest question is how to actually get the items. Here are the key points.
- Who qualifies: fans who enter the stadium with a valid ticket for the July 2 Padres game, on a first-come basis.
- How many: the Dodgers’ announcement and reporting cite the first 40,000 fans (note: the club’s ticket promotions page lists “first 52,000 fans,” so the figure varies by source — arrive early to be safe).
- Where: distributed at the point of entry, one set per valid ticket, while supplies last.
- Special ticket pack: none required — a standard game ticket works. Because quantities are limited, arriving as gates open is the safest bet.
Where to buy tickets
Tickets are available through the official MLB / Dodgers ticket portal and authorized resale platforms (such as SeatGeek). Prices for this high-demand event tend to climb, and at the time of reporting even lower-level seats had risen into the several-hundred-dollar range. Prices change daily, so confirm current availability and pricing on official channels before buying. The giveaway is an entry perk for ticketed fans and does not change based on seat tier.
Background: why MLB x ONE PIECE?
Why ONE PIECE at a Major League ballpark? The answer lies in the global rise of ONE PIECE and the Dodgers’ international fan base. With Japanese stars like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto drawing enormous attention in Japan, the Dodgers are a natural fit for Japanese content collaborations.
The tie-up is powered by a partnership between the Dodgers and Toei Animation. The inaugural 2025 edition (July 3, vs. the Chicago White Sox) turned the entire ballpark into a ONE PIECE experience, featured a ceremonial first pitch by Emily Rudd (who plays Nami in the live-action series), and closed with a roughly 12-minute drone show — going well beyond a simple merch giveaway. Its success led directly to this second straight year.
Anime and gaming “theme nights” at U.S. sports venues have grown in recent years, and the Dodgers run a wide slate of themed events (Star Wars Night, Japanese Heritage Night and more). Among them, ONE PIECE Night is a standout that resonates with fans in Japan as well.
Can fans outside the U.S. take part?
In short: ONE PIECE Night is an in-person event at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The straw hat and promo card are giveaways for fans who attend and enter early on the day, so they cannot be received online from abroad.
- Attending in person: if you are in or visiting LA, secure a ticket for the July 2 Padres game and enter as gates open.
- From overseas: no official online distribution has been announced. For the card’s playability and rules, check the official ONE PIECE Card Game site.
- Time zone note: the Thursday, July 2 night game in LA falls on the morning of Friday, July 3 in Japan.
