The Braves are already laying out the 2027 home schedule’s biggest bait for fans who plan their Truist Park visits around the swag table: giveaways, theme nights, and the familiar weekend extras that turn a regular game into an event.
Single-game tickets are on sale now for a season that, for the moment, starts on the road at Dodger Stadium. But the real draw here is what’s coming at home, where the Braves have started to reveal the first wave of promotions. More giveaways, ticket packages, and theme nights are still to be announced as the schedule gets finalized.
For weekend crowds, the club is bringing back the usual trio of extras. Friday home games will end with a Georgia Lottery-sponsored fireworks show.
Saturday games come with the Braves Block Party before first pitch, complete with live music and other entertainment in The Battery. Sundays will feature alumni autograph sessions before the game, with the guests still to be determined, and kids will be able to run the bases after the final out.
The first batch of gate giveaways covers the first 15,000 fans through the gates, though the timing matters depending on how badly people want the item. Some will be easy enough to grab late. Others will require a much earlier arrival and a little more patience.
The home opener on April 2 against Houston comes with a magnetic schedule, courtesy of Georgia Power. The next night, April 3 against the Astros, brings a Truist Park “10th Anniversary” T-shirt.
On April 16 against Miami, fans can pick up a BravesVision bobblehead featuring Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski, a nod to the seventh-inning cracker jack toss.
The alumni-themed giveaways start rolling after that. On April 20 against Washington, the item is a Phil Niekro replica jersey, the first of several Braves legend giveaways.
May 28 against Pittsburgh features a Mystery Hot Dog Hat, with the design mystery apparently coming down to ketchup or mustard. Then on June 1 against Colorado, Tom Glavine gets the giveaway treatment with a hockey jersey in an Atlanta City Connect style.
Late in the season, the Braves are leaning into two apparel items that should draw plenty of attention. On August 20 against the Mets, fans can get a Hawaiian shirt with vintage Braves Hall of Famers and tropical flowers mixed into the design. On September 24 against Miami, the giveaway is a 90’s windbreaker.
The specialty ticket packages and theme nights are a separate deal, with the item guaranteed and extra ballpark programming attached. Science Education Day on April 22 against Washington is aimed at elementary school groups.
Girls Night Out on April 29 against the Mets includes a mock neck sweatshirt. Star Wars Night on May 6 against San Diego comes with a Braves/Star Wars jersey shirt.
Military Appreciation Night on May 31 against Colorado includes a Braves military appreciation T-shirt. Braves Country 5K on June 5 against Minnesota will have more information later, though it usually includes a T-shirt.
Father’s Day on June 20 against the Yankees offers a 200minute session of catch on the field after the afternoon game. Pride Night on June 23 against Philadelphia will have more details on the item and festivities soon.
Later in the summer, Summer Camp Day on July 21 against Philadelphia is set for summer camps, Deaf Awareness on August 1 against St. Louis includes a City Connect-style jersey shirt with “Braves” spelled out in ASL across the chest, and HBCU Night on August 25 against Milwaukee features a jersey shirt with HBCU across the chest and 48 on the back.

Braves Add A Familiar Name With One Big Question Attached
The Braves have added a familiar name to the conversation at Gwinnett, bringing in Freeman as a possible depth piece who can move around the diamond and give the organization some flexibility. Over five major league seasons, he has shown enough athletic traits to keep getting looks, including speed, arm strength and a bat that can put the ball in play, even if the overall production has not yet matched the tools.
For Atlanta, the appeal is obvious enough at the margins: a backup option who can cover multiple spots and help fill out a roster when injuries or matchups start to pile up. The question is whether Freeman can turn those scattered flashes into something more dependable, especially with the defensive challenges that have followed him and the lack of strong performance metrics to point to so far.

Braves Bullpen Plan May Not Be Over After Evan Phillips Deal
The Braves have already made one notable bullpen move by signing Evan Phillips to a three-year contract, but the work in the late innings may not be finished. According to reporter Francys Romero, Atlanta is also showing interest in bringing back closer Raisel Iglesias, a familiar arm who remains one of the more established ninth-inning options on the market.
Iglesias drew interest from multiple teams, including the Braves and Detroit Tigers, after a strong 2026 season in which he posted a 2.55 ERA and saved 34 games. For Atlanta, the appeal is obvious: adding Phillips and potentially keeping Iglesias would give the club a deep, proven bullpen core with Robert Suarez in the mix, and it suggests the front office is still weighing how aggressive it wants to be in fortifying the back end.

Braves Shortstop Buzz Comes With More Risk Than Fans Realize
The Braves have already made one notable bullpen addition this offseason in right-hander Evan Phillips, but the bigger roster question still hanging over them is shortstop. That uncertainty has kept Atlanta tied to trade chatter, and the name that keeps surfacing is Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson, a player who would instantly change the conversation if he were to become available.
Hendersons appeal is obvious because he could give the Braves a temporary answer at a premium position, but the fit comes with real risk. His recent offensive dip has raised questions about how much of the decline is tied to injuries, and his arbitration eligibility only adds another layer of cost and control concerns for Atlanta if the front office decides to pursue a deal.
