On Friday, the Yankees released one of the most anticipated things for the upcoming season, the 2026 Promotional Schedule.

The highlights include six bobbleheads, three Yankee-themed jerseys, a fireworks night, and a couple of cap days.

The first bobblehead of the season will be given out on "Star Wars Day," when the Yankees take on the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, May 2 at 1:35 p.m., and it will be a Max Fried Mandalorian Bobblehead, for the first 18,000 fans. The Yankees left-handed star pitcher will be in full Mandalorian armor alongside Gorgu.

Next up, on Saturday, June 20, when the Yankees take on the Cincinnati Reds at 1:35 p.m., rhe first 18,000 fans will receive an Aaron Judge MVP Bobblehead. It will feature Judge holding his MVP plaque, and since it is the second straight year they have given this out, so it certainly is a must for collectors.

Cody Bellinger Bobblehead Night will be on Friday, August 21 at 7:05 p.m. when the Yankees take on the Toronto Blue Jays, and that will go to the first 18,000 fans. The next day, on Sat. Aug. 22, at 1:35 p.m., is Hello Kitty Bobblehead Day, also to the first 18,000 fans.

The final bobblehead of the season, and it will be worth the wait because it's on Friday, September 25, when the Yankees take on Baltimore at 7:05 p.m. It will be a Josh Hart Yankees Bobblehead, given to the first 18,000 fans, and it will feature the Knicks guard holding a bat and basketball while wearing a Yankees uniform of his great uncle, Yankees legend Elston Howard.

The three "Jersey Nights" will be as follows: Yankees Hockey Jersey Night will be on Friday, April 17 at 7:05 p.m. when the Yankees take on the Kansas City Royals, for the first 18,000 fans.
