Players weekend success

After a four-season hiatus, Players' Weekend returns this Friday to give players an enhanced voice and a creative outlet as they showcase their personalities with an eye toward growing the game.

Players weekend is a chance for players to be themselves, help their favorite charities or just explain what makes them tick. The idea is to showcase MLB players beyond their stats while telling their stories in a way that connects with young fans and casual followers.

How does it work?

The 2024 edition will last three days, with each day featuring a different theme. The days' themes will be displayed via the in-stadium game presentation, broadcast enhancements, social media content and more. Here's the thematic breakdown:

Fun (Friday): This will be a time to show off players' personalities, friendships and off-field interests.

Causes (Saturday): The focus this day will be on players' favorite charity and community efforts.

Appreciation (Sunday): Players will celebrate the people who helped them in their journey to the big leagues.
