Atlanta Braves Reveal Promotional Calendar, Including List of Giveaways for 2026

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves are set to open the 2026 regular season on Friday night, with the Kansas City Royals coming to Truist Park. With the new season, the Braves will offer some exciting new menu offerings, gate giveaways, and fan experiences for the upcoming season. On Tuesday, the club released more information about what fans have to look forward to in 2026.

Fans will notice that Truist Park has upgraded their stadium lights, with the addition of theatrical lights to enhance the experience of night games. These lights will allow for colored flood lights to cover the field, moving intelligent lighting that allows for logos and textures on the field, and spotlights.

On the videoboard, Mark Owens will reprise his role as in-game host. He held that post with the Braves from 2007 to 2022.

The Braves will also host a theme night on every Friday home game during the regular season, starting with Opening Day (which will celebrate the club’s 60th anniversary of its move to Atlanta). Other theme nights include 80s Night, Braves Country Night, Star Wars Night, HBCU Night, Patriot Day, Braves Alumni Night, and more. There will also be fireworks after every Friday home game.

In celebration of the Braves’ 60th anniversary, the club is introducing the 60th Anniversary Collection. This is a walk-through exhibit (located in Monument Garden) that showcases the historic moments, artifacts, and players that have brought each decade of Braves baseball to life.

New signature menu items will be offered this season, including The Bat Flip. The burger includes seven inches of toasted brioche stacked with two pounds of seasoned hand-formed beef patties, braised short rib, crispy pork belly, melted cheese, crunchy onions, green leaf lettuce, sliced red tomatoes, and a fried egg.
