The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team is once again teaming up with another anime franchise, partnering with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba for the upcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle anime film. The collaboration giveaway was first announced last week on Demon Slayer’s official English Twitter/X account.

The collaboration night will include a “stadium-wide giveaway of co-branded hats” on August 15, 2025 at 7:10 PM PST in Dodger Stadium when the Dodgers face the San Diego Padres.
The event will also be supported by pregame and in-game promotion, an activation in the Centerfield Plaza and a ceremonial first pitch. Festivities for the night will be followed by a special Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle drone show.
More details about the special giveaway and how to purchase tickets can be found on the Dodgers’ official promotions and giveaways page.
MLB previously partnered with ufotable to create a short anime video, featuring Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, for the MLB World Tour Tokyo Series. The company also launched a “Heroes of the Game” campaign, where prominent baseball players are featured in short anime-styled videos.
MLB has collaborated with several anime franchises in recent months, with Crunchyroll and Toho hosting a Jujutsu Kaisen themed-night with the Texas Rangers on July 1, 2025.
The Dodgers also previously collaborated with the One Piece franchise on a special giveaway game on July 3, 2025, along with the Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox earlier this year.
