Washington Nationals Announce Special Ticket Events for 2025 Season
Whether you like golf or Hello Kitty®, binge-watch Friends® re-runs, or simply love to take your pup everywhere you go, the Washington Nationals have a date on the calendar just for you. The Nationals’ 2025 season schedule is highlighted by more than 50 special ticket events, complementing the promotional schedule released in December. This year’s special events include the return of fan-favorites like Night OUT and Ladies Night; season-long series like College Days and heritage days; games dedicated to our furry friends, including Cat-urday presented by Temptations and Pups in the Park presented by PEDIGREE Foundation; kid-friendly events like Youth Baseball & Softball Days presented by Inova Sports Medicine; and events new to Nationals Park. Special tickets are limited; for more information and to purchase, visit nats.com/Special.
Eight brand new events, including Hello Kitty**®** Day, Friends**®** Day and Golf Day, join the slate of returning favorites.
On Tuesday, April 8, fans are invited to enjoy Hello Kitty**®* Day at Nationals Park alongside fellow red bow-wearers… After all, *you can never have too many friends! Fans with a special ticket will receive an exclusive Hello Kitty® light-up figurine.
The Nationals will bring the Central Perk vibes to the ballpark on Tuesday, May 6, with the first-ever Friends® Day at Nationals Park. So, grab your closest friends – whether they want good eats at the concessions like Joey, to go shopping at the team store like Rachel, or to get their head in the game like Ross – and head over to Nationals Park for a 6:45 p.m. matchup versus the Guardians. Fans with a special ticket will receive an exclusive Screech and Teddy “Pivot!” bobblehead.
FORE! Golf fans are invited to Nationals Park on Wednesday, May 21, to enjoy the first Golf Day. Fans with a special ticket will receive an exclusive Nationals head cover and divot tool. In addition, make the most of your ballpark excursion and get some pregame swings in at X-Golf at Nationals Park, which offers the ultimate golf entertainment experience with state-of-the-art golf simulators.
Since there’s nothing better than enjoying a hot dog with your actual dog at the ballpark, the 2025 calendar includes six dates to celebrate our paw-some fans with the popular Pups in the Park series presented by PEDIGREE Foundation. Fans who purchase special tickets are invited to bring their canine companions to Nationals Park (with the purchase of a dog ticket) and will receive a seat in the dedicated outfield reserved section and dog-themed giveaways. The Pups in the Park dates are April 6, April 25, May 20, June 14, Aug.20 and Sept. 28, with special postgame pup parades on May 20 and Aug. 20. Proceeds from dog ticket sales will be donated to the Human Rescue Alliance.
On Thursday, June 5, the Nationals will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month with the 20th annual Night OUT at Nationals Park, continuing the longest-running Pride event in Major League Baseball. Fans who purchase a special Night OUT ticket will receive an exclusive Night OUT baseball jersey, and five dollars from each special ticket sold will be donated to Team DC, an LGBTQ nonprofit focused on building community through sports.
Fans will have plenty of opportunities throughout the season to show off their school pride during the College Day series, highlighted by 21 represented colleges and universities. The Nationals will also celebrate the rich cultures and histories of our diverse fans and community with nine heritage nights – Japanese, AAPI, Korean, Filipino, Italian, Taiwanese, Jewish, Hispanic and Salvadoran, featuring a brand-new special ticket giveaway item.
