The Texas Rangers major league baseball team is partnering with another popular anime franchise, as it announces a special collaboration with Crunchyroll to host a Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle theme night and jersey giveaway.
A limited quantity of ticket packages, including a custom “Texas Rangers x Tanjiro Kamado” jersey, are now available for purchase on MLB’s official ticketing website.
The theme night will take place on September 9, 2025 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The first part of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, titled in Japan as Gekijoban “Kimetsu no Yaiba” Mugenjou-hen Daiisshou Akaza Sairai, premiered in Japanese theaters on July 18, 2025. It will be screened in IMAX and premium large formats in the U.S. and Canada on September 12, 2025, with Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment distributing the film.
MLB previously partnered with ufotable to create a short anime video, which features 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. The Los Angeles Dodgers also hosted a Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba theme night and hat giveaway last week.
