The list refreshes weekly with each Tuesday scan.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does PromoNight rank promos?
Every scored promo gets a 0 to 100 total built from five components: type (giveaway, theme, food, kids), item desirability (bobbleheads and jerseys outscore towels), attendance cap presence, highlight tier, and sponsor presence. The list above sorts by this total descending, with the soonest date as a tiebreaker.
What makes a promo score 100?
A 100 score requires a giveaway with a desirable collectible item (typically a bobblehead), a stated attendance cap, a highlighted status from the team, and a named sponsor. As of the most recent scan, two Washington Mystics bobblehead nights are tied at 100.
Why is my favorite team not at the top?
The list ranks by score, not team identity. A team running mostly food deals and theme nights will rank below teams with high-cap bobblehead programs. Filter by league above to see how teams in your league cluster, or visit the team page for the full schedule.
Why are NBA and NHL not included?
The scoring layer rolled out for MLB, MLS, and WNBA first. NBA and NHL promo data exists in PromoNight but has not yet been processed through the structured-extraction pipeline that this ranking depends on. Those leagues will join in a future release.
How often does this list update?
The scoring pipeline runs every Tuesday at 15:00 UTC. Newly announced promos appear within a week. Team scores and per-promo scores can shift between scans as teams announce more events and the variety bonus adjusts.
What does the "Presented by" line on a card mean?
It names the sponsor underwriting the promo, typically a local business or national brand. A named sponsor adds 3 points to the total score because sponsorship correlates with a more produced fan-facing event.
Can I see only bobblehead nights?
Yes. Visit /best-promos/bobbleheads for the same ranking filtered to derivedSignals.itemType equal to "bobblehead". That page surfaces 204 bobblehead promos across the three scored leagues, with two WNBA 100s and an MLB cluster at 98 leading.
