A new baseball season means new bobbleheads. And for fans and collectors, the 2020 MLB bobblehead stadium giveaway lineup goes deep. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise given their lasting popularity.
Stars, local favorites and legends all have promotional figures on the way during the 2020 season. Even Elmo makes the trip from Sesame Street to a handful of ballparks for giveaways.
Continuing with a trend that’s been emerging for a few years, many of the 2020 MLB bobblehead stadium giveaways aren’t available to everyone walking through the gate. Instead, they’re part of theme day promotions requiring special ticket purchases. Basically, they’re an upgrade of sorts but with guaranteed goodies. These types of giveaways vary from team to team. Some have several of them, others a couple here and there, and some have none at all.
All told, there are nearly 200 different bobblehead giveaways planned for MLB ballparks during the 2020 season. They kickoff in March and run all the way through to the end of September. Most days during the season have at least one bobblehead promotion somewhere.

Thank you for posting the Bobblehead schedule! I have been collecting this information, but you’ve got some I was missing, and it’s nice to have it all in one place!
What is gonna happen with those? Are they gonna giveaway in 2021?
I saw on the tv where you have millions of bobble heads from 2020 to give away. I am from a small town in west Texas and would love to have some to give to the elementary kids here that wil never be able to get to a major league game. If possible I would like to give about 250 kids one as a Suprise at school here. If not we’ll it’s ok. Thanks
@Loyce – We don’t not have millions of unused bobbleheads. This was a post of scheduled giveaways.
