Doubling Down: 29 Of MLB’s 30 Teams Celebrate ‘Pride Month’

In what some expected to be a tamed-down “Pride Month” this year due to companies and organizations ditching diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, the MLB is going all in on LGBT festivities.

While the list of MLB teams promoting “Pride Month” on social media has grown smaller from 2024 to 2025, 29 of the 30 teams in the league will still celebrate the LGBT lifestyle with a “Pride Night” this month. From Atlanta and Kansas City to Cleveland and Phoenix, “Pride Nights” are coming to nearly every major league ballpark as every team in the MLB, except the Texas Rangers, has scheduled an LGBT celebration during the month of June.

The Seattle Mariners will host two “Pride Night” events, the first on June 4 vs. the Baltimore Orioles and the second on June 13 vs. the Cleveland Guardians. The team writes on its website, “We have two amazing Pride Themed Ticket Specials on deck this season – don’t miss your chance to score a Belt Bag on June 4 and Stanley-style Tumbler on June 13. Plus, each night, $5 of every ticket sold will benefit the GSBA [an LGBTQ+ chamber of commerce] Scholarship Fund and Seattle Pride, respectively.”

The Atlanta Braves, meanwhile, are hosting a “Pride Night” on June 3 vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks, which includes “a pregame party” and “a Braves Pride t-shirt.”

At the historic Fenway Park in Boston, the Red Sox will celebrate “Pride Month” against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 9. At the game, fans will have the option to purchase a Red Sox “Pride” hat. The Colorado Rockies, who currently hold the worst record in the MLB, will host a “Pride Night” on June 6 vs. the New York Mets, where “a portion of each ticket package sold will benefit The Center on Colfax, Colorado’s largest LGBTQIA+ resource and community center, and One Colorado, the state’s leading advocacy organization for LGBTQIA+ rights.”

The Rangers are the only MLB team that has never waded into the LGBT messaging during “Pride Month.” In response to questions about skipping “Pride Month” events, the team stated last year, “Our longstanding commitment remains the same: To make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball — in our ballpark, at every game, and in all we do — for both our fans and our employees. We deliver on that promise across our many programs to have a positive impact across our entire community.”

While nearly every team is once again throwing a “Pride Night,” fewer clubs celebrated “Pride Month” on social media on June 1 this year compared to 2024. Only six teams changed their official logos on social media to include some version of the “Pride” flag, while another 11 teams wrote a post acknowledging “Pride Month.”
