Fast-Food Brands are Celebrating America’s Pastime with Specials, Deals and Discounts
Baseball fans, rejoice! The 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) kicks off March 27. This beloved American tradition typically falls during the end of March or the beginning of April. For many years, MLB Opening Day has been famous for its pageantry and spectacle, with cities like Cincinnati establishing it as a “city holiday” and hosting an annual Findlay Market Parade to cheer on the Reds. (Fun fact: The Cincinnati Red Stockings are credited as the first all-professional baseball team.)
Today, baseball enthusiasts gather at watch parties filled with wings, pizza, desserts and more. Additionally, diehard fans can be seen at stadiums across the country rooting for their favorite teams and indulging in ballpark franks and other local food from vendors.
More fast-food brands are making their way into baseball stadiums. For example, New York Yankees fans can enjoy delicious options from Mighty Quinn’s, Bobby Flay’s Bobby’s Burgers and The Halal Guys. Dairy Queen has been a sponsor of the MLB since 2022!
So, how are franchises stepping up to the plate on MLB Opening Day 2025? Read on for a small compilation of brands offering deals and discounts.
