Cubs drop an unbelievable promotional schedule ahead of the 2025 season

As we know, the live experience at Wrigley Field remains unmatched. The Chicago summer on the North Side is constantly filled with plenty of moments, emotions, and most importantly, victories. Over the years, the promotional schedule laid out by the team has featured plenty of hits and the list this year does not disappoint.

Following up the fan-favorite Pat Hughes sweaters from last season is a tough feat to top, but there is more than enough creativity to provide a unique and exciting slate of giveaways. New to 2025 includes a replica jersey of the spanking new alternate blues on June 20 against the Mariners. Also on the docket is a Dansby Swanson flow headband on May 31, giving fans a chance to rock the hair of our beloved shortstop.

An incredible collection of one-of-a-kind bobbleheads will also be given away this season. Of note, there will be a bobblehead dedicated to the iconic center-field scoreboard featuring Clark the Cub on April 26.

There will also be a Shota Imanaga figurine with him sitting at his locker in the clubhouse, with a level of detail to include his famous “Mike” coffee cup, available on June 1. And then my personal favorite, a homage to Greg Maddux and his legendary head-first slide across the tarp during a 1988 rain delay, will be given away on August 3. Bobbleheads for the pair of young studs Pete Crow-Armstrong, complete with a lost helmet, and Michael Busch will be available on April 19 and June 22, respectively.

#BudFridays returns for another year of giveaways exclusive to the bleacher’s first 5,000 fans. As a follow-up to the collection of tanktops honoring the eras of Cubs baseball, the team will be providing Bleacher Creatures an option to choose your side of the Left Field/Right Field war (Left Field by the way) on July 18.

Other notable giveaways include a vintage quarter zip with a design straight off the ski slopes in the 90s on May 30, a novelty umbrella cap to block out the hot summer sun on June 13, and replica Ryne Sandburg flip up sunglasses on August 1.

Theme games and special ticket offers are also returning this season. Among this list include Pride Night on June 12, Camp Cubs on July 2, and Oktoberfest on September 23, when you can get your very own Cubs branded beer stein. Throughout the summer, Cubs will be throwing heritage celebrations to honor the diversity of their fans and the return of college themed hats for local colleges & universities, as well as select schools of the Big Ten Conference.

A complete list of dates, promotions, and events can be found here. The Cubs kick off their 2025 Spring Training schedule against the Dodgers on February 20.
