Orioles Announce Plans for 2026 Fan Appreciation Weekend
The Orioles today announced plans for Fan Appreciation Weekend, which will be held Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20, as the Orioles host the Milwaukee Brewers for their final weekend home series of the season. The weekend will feature two giveaways, opportunities for fans to win signed items and prizes, including a full season Birdland Membership with two tickets, and unforgettable experiences for fans to enjoy at Oriole Park. Fans can purchase tickets for the weekend at Orioles.com/FanAppreciation.
All weekend long, select fans will be invited to participate in pre- and in-game ceremonies, such as the lineup card exchange, and Kids Take the Field. The weekend will also feature various opportunities for fans to receive prizes, including autographed merchandise and exclusive experiences, such as throwing the ceremonial first pitch or batting practice passes. Fans are also invited to participate in Tweet Your Seat throughout the weekend by following @Orioles on X for opportunities to win additional prizes.
On Saturday, 15,000 fans will receive the Fan’s Choice T-shirt, presented by Truist, featuring the winning fan-voted design. Prior to the game, fans can enjoy live music and Orioles-themed photo opportunities in Legends Park beginning at 2:30 p.m. Select fans will also have the opportunity to interact with Orioles players in a “Shirts Off Our Backs” jersey pregame ceremony. In addition, Baltimore native and NASA Astronaut REID WISEMAN will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. After Saturday's matchup, fans ages 4 to 12 can run the bases as part of Kids Run the Bases, presented by Weis Markets.
Also on Saturday, the Orioles will celebrate former Orioles infielder TREY MANCINI, who will sign a one-day contract with Baltimore and retire as an Oriole, with a special pregame ceremony featuring former teammates, coaches, staff members, and others who played an impactful role in his career. Fans can purchase a special ticket package featuring a limited-edition “F16HT” hat, with a portion of proceeds benefiting The Trey Mancini Foundation. To purchase, visit Orioles.com/Mancini. In addition, children ages 12 and under can participate in a kids-only autograph session with Mancini at the ADA platform near Section 16 from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. A limited number of autographs will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
On Sunday, gates will open at 6 p.m., and 10,000 fans will receive an Orioles Team Poster. Fans will be able to enjoy live music and Orioles-themed photo opportunities in Legends Park once the gates open. For the final time this season, children ages 12 and under can participate in a kids-only autograph session with Orioles players and coaches from 6 p.m. to 6:25 p.m. at the ADA platform near Section 16 on a first-come, first-served basis.
