FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Two Washington Mystics bobblehead nights are tied at the top score of 100: the Kiki Iriafen Bobblehead and a second Mystics Bobblehead Giveaway. Both pair a stated attendance cap with a named sponsor and a highlighted-status flag from the team. MLB bobbleheads cluster just behind at 98, led by Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, and Chicago Cubs programs.

MLB clubs run the largest bobblehead programs. The Diamondbacks, Cubs, and Braves consistently lead in announced bobblehead nights per season. Counts shift as teams announce more promos through the year; the live list above sorts by score so the best-rated entries from any team surface first.
When do bobblehead giveaways usually happen?
Most MLB bobblehead nights run on weekend home games, especially Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Teams schedule them to drive attendance for series that are not already sellouts. WNBA bobbleheads cluster around marquee dates and rivalry games during the regular season.
Are bobbleheads still given away if you arrive late?
Usually no. Bobbleheads are handed out at the stadium gates until the listed quantity runs out, typically the first 10,000 to 25,000 ticketed fans through the entrances. Some teams reserve a small allocation at guest services for fans with specific ticket packages, but the open giveaway runs out fast.
How many bobbleheads does each team give away?
Quantities vary by team and event, recorded in the attendance cap field on each card above. MLB programs typically distribute 15,000 to 25,000 bobbleheads per game. WNBA bobbleheads sit around 8,000 to 12,000 to match smaller venue capacities.
Do bobbleheads have to be claimed at the gate?
Almost always yes. Bobbleheads are handed out at the stadium entrance to ticketed fans on arrival. A handful of teams will reserve some for redemption at guest services for fans with specific ticket packages; the team promo page lists those exceptions when they exist.
