San Diego Padres Reveal Full Slate Of 2026 Giveaways And Theme Games At Petco Park

The San Diego Padres have officially unveiled their full 2026 home-game giveaway and Theme Game schedule, and it’s one of the most robust promotional lineups the team has offered in years.

Throughout the year, fans attending select home Giveaway Games will have the chance to score limited-edition items ranging from hats and apparel to some of the most creative bobbleheads the club has ever produced. In addition to standard giveaways, the Padres will again host recurring fan favorites like Party in the Park Fridays and Kids Fest Sundays, alongside an expansive slate of Theme Games celebrating San Diego’s diverse communities, pop culture, and professional groups.

At most giveaway games, the first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive the featured item upon entry, while select Sunday games will include special giveaways for the first 10,000 kids ages 14 and younger. All items are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis when gates open.
