Niantic Has Announced A Multi-Year Pokemon Go And MLB Partnership in North America

Niantic has announced a multi-year partnership between Pokemon Go and the MLB that will include special Pokemon Go events at select baseball parks across North America. The first phase of Pokemon Go's MLB partnership begins on opening day of the 2025 baseball season--March 27, 2025.

"We’re delighted to partner with MLB to help make playing Pokemon Go even more fun and engaging at ballparks across the country," Sarah Gilarsky, Niantic's head of business development for Pokemon Go, said in a statement. "This unique integration of digital Pokemon Go gameplay and the physical experience of enjoying a game together at an MLB ballpark is a wonderful way for friends and families to connect and share their passions for Pokemon and baseball.”

Niantic said that starting on opening day, MLB-themed PokeStops will appear at each ballpark, along with special gym locations and official Pokemon Go routes connecting important locations in the park venue. Several MLB clubs will host Pokemon Go nights during the season as well--events that feature special timed research tasks, in-game cosmetics, and tradeable ballpark backgrounds for Pikachu. Niantic said Pikachu will turn up at scheduled points during the evening's game.
