Dodgers to Host Godzilla Minus Zero Night with Exclusive Bobblehead and Drone Show
The Los Angeles Dodgers are teaming up with Toho for a special Godzilla Minus Zero Night this September, bringing exclusive collectibles, themed entertainment, and a spectacular drone show to the team’s final regular season home game.
Godzilla has remained one of Japan’s most iconic pop culture franchises since making its debut in 1954, with the King of the Monsters starring in dozens of films, television series, comics and games while building a worldwide fanbase over the past seven decades.
The event celebrates the upcoming release of Godzilla Minus Zero, director Takashi Yamazaki’s follow-up to the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One, which won Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards.
Set in 1949, two years after the events of Godzilla Minus One, the new film follows the Shikishima family as they are once again confronted by a devastating new crisis involving Godzilla.
Fans attending the game can expect much more than baseball, with Godzilla Minus Zero-themed performances and promotional activities taking place around Dodger Stadium before the first pitch to transform the ballpark into a celebration of the legendary kaiju.
Following the game, everyone in attendance will also be treated to a Godzilla-themed drone light show that will bring the King of the Monsters to life in the night sky above the stadium.
The first 40,000 fans through the gates will receive an exclusive Godzilla Minus Zero limited-edition bobblehead, making it one of the night’s most sought-after souvenirs.
The collaboration marks the Dodgers’ final themed event of the regular season, which has also included team-ups with ONE PIECE and Super Mario, and continues Toho’s efforts to introduce Godzilla Minus Zero to audiences ahead of the film’s theatrical debut while celebrating one of the franchise’s most successful recent entries.
Godzilla Minus Zero Night will take place on September 24, 2026 (U.S. time) during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ final regular season home game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium.
Godzilla Minus Zero is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on November 3, 2026, before arriving in North American cinemas on November 6, 2026.
