Godzilla Takes Over Dodger Stadium for Epic “Minus Zero” Night on September 24

Dodgers fans will score an exclusive Godzilla bobblehead before a kaiju-powered drone show lights up the Los Angeles sky

Baseball is about to go full kaiju.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will team with TOHO to host Godzilla Minus Zero Night during the club’s 2026 regular-season home finale on Thursday, September 24, against the San Diego Padres.

The game begins at 7:10 p.m. at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, but fans may want to arrive before Godzilla stomps through the turnstiles. The first 40,000 attendees will receive an exclusive Godzilla Minus Zero bobblehead, limited to one giveaway item per person with a valid ticket upon stadium entry.

Once the final out is recorded, the celebration gets even bigger. All fans in attendance will be treated to a special Godzilla-themed drone show, bringing the King of the Monsters to life above Dodger Stadium. Because apparently fireworks were not dramatic enough. Godzilla said, “Bring me the whole sky.”

Additional in-stadium promotions and themed activations will roll out during the days leading up to the event, building excitement for TOHO’s upcoming feature film, Godzilla Minus Zero.

Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also oversees the film’s visual effects, Godzilla Minus Zero continues the story introduced in the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One.

Set in 1949, two years after the devastating events of the previous film, the new chapter once again follows the Shikishima family as they confront an entirely new calamity. Considering what this family already survived, “calamity” is doing some heavy lifting.

Godzilla Minus Zero will be released exclusively in theaters nationwide on November 6, 2026.

“We are pleased to partner with TOHO on Godzilla Minus Zero Night, an evening at the ballpark that should be a sure-fire hit with Dodger fans,” said Lorenzo Sciarrino, Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships for the Los Angeles Dodgers. “This will be the perfect event to cap our 2026 regular-season home schedule.”

Founded in 1932, TOHO Co., Ltd. has grown into one of Japan’s most influential entertainment companies, operating across film production and distribution, theatrical entertainment, anime, and real estate.

Its globally recognized catalog includes the legendary Godzilla franchise, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, and major anime properties such as My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen, produced and distributed through the TOHO animation label.

“We are deeply honored to launch our partnership between the Los Angeles Dodgers—a monumental Major League Baseball franchise that continues to captivate fans worldwide—and Godzilla, a global icon loved for over 70 years,” said Keiji Ota, Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer and Chief Godzilla Officer at TOHO Co., Ltd.

“Both names share a powerful legacy of stepping onto the world stage, embracing relentless challenges, and fueling the passion of millions.”

The collaboration represents the latest step in TOHO’s continued worldwide expansion of the Godzilla brand, joining two cultural giants with deeply loyal international fanbases.

“Through this partnership, Godzilla’s overwhelming presence and monumental scale will fuse with the dynamic energy of the Dodgers, delivering an exclusive, one-of-a-kind experience,” Ota added. “We imagine the roar of the stadium crowd echoing across the globe, capturing the very spirit of Godzilla itself.”

More information about the partnership and its upcoming stadium activations will be revealed as the event approaches.

“We look forward to bringing a truly unforgettable collaboration to Godzilla fans and Los Angeles Dodgers fans everywhere,” Ota said. “Please stay tuned for what is to come.”

This one has everything: baseball, bobbleheads, drones, movie hype, and a radioactive prehistoric monster capable of flattening an entire city before the seventh-inning stretch. That is what we call delivering value, fam.
