Get ready, anime fans and baseball lovers—two passionate fandoms are colliding under the lights of Dodger Stadium! On Friday, August 15, the Los Angeles Dodgers will transform their home field into a Demon Slayer-themed celebration, complete with exclusive giveaways, themed entertainment, and a stunning drone show inspired by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle, the highly anticipated film debuting this September.
As part of this epic crossover event, every fan in attendance for the Dodgers vs. Padres game at 7:10 p.m. will receive a co-branded Dodgers × Demon Slayer hat—a collectible that’s sure to ignite both team spirit and anime hype.
But the night doesn’t stop at free merch.
Fans can expect pregame and in-game promotions, a Demon Slayer activation area in Centerfield Plaza, and even a ceremonial first pitch—all leading up to a spectacular postgame drone show themed around the Infinity Castle arc. If you’ve ever wanted to see the Demon Slayer Corps soar above a baseball diamond, this is your chance.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba enjoys a following with the same kind of passion that Dodger fans bring to the ballpark,” said Lon Rosen, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer for the Dodgers. “There’s a real overlap between these two fanbases, and we’re excited to bring them together for what’s sure to be an unforgettable night.
This special event marks the latest in a growing wave of anime collaborations in mainstream sports—and it’s perfectly timed. The upcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle film, the first chapter of a three-part cinematic finale, hits North American theaters September 12, 2025, courtesy of Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The film plunges viewers into an all-out war within Muzan Kibutsuji’s domain, as Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the elite Hashira face their most perilous mission yet. Expect jaw-dropping animation from ufotable, intense battles, and the emotional stakes that made Demon Slayer a global phenomenon.
Whether you’re shouting “Let’s go Dodgers!” or “Breath of the Sun, First Form!”—this is a night you won’t want to miss.
