"As America's pastime with a history of more than 150 years, baseball has provided our country with decades of entertainment and enjoyment, an important form of intergenerational and familial connection, and a source of strength and consistency during difficult times,"
"MLB will proudly celebrate our country's 250th birthday throughout 2026 as the sport builds on its current momentum and continues to entertain our fans of all ages."
Major League Baseball will commemorate America's 250th anniversary throughout the 2026 season and has pledged 250,000 volunteer hours through the MLB Together initiative. The effort will combine the Commissioner's Office, all 30 MLB clubs, all 120 Minor League clubs, players at all levels, and the league's charitable partners. Foster Love served as the inaugural volunteer event partner, where more than 60 MLB staff assembled "Sweet Cases"—hand-decorated duffle bags with essential comfort items—for children in the foster care system. Year-long activities will span content, social responsibility, marketing, media, partnerships, baseball and softball development, Minor League operations, consumer products, and special events, and a new commemorative logo will be used across league celebrations.
