It's Opening Day Eve!

Like other years, the 2024 Major League Baseball season unites America's favorite pastime with the universally loved Star Wars universe with special events, games, and giveaways. Teams across the league are hosting special Star Wars-themed games, offering fans a blend of baseball action and intergalactic entertainment. Lots of these take place on May the 4th, but other dates throughout the year work too as special Star Wars events for some teams.

I was curious if the Cubs will host a Star Wars event (they won't, boo) or be the visitors during another team's event (thank you, Braves). I did the research so here's your ultimate guide to the 2024 MLB Star Wars celebrations.

A VIP package, which currently shows being sold out, can be purchased in addition, which includes a special Red Sox Mandalorian jersey shirt with a matching jetpack backpack. This promotion mentions the 501st will be on hand for photo ops -- I suspect the 501st will be at other team events as well.
