for 2025'S Boston Red Sox X One Piece Theme Day


Newest Collaboration Follows Last Year's Wildly Successful Boston Red Sox
Theme Night Celebration of the “ONE PIECE” Episodic Series; Tickets On Sale Now


LOS ANGELESFebruary 18, 2025. Last August's “ONE PIECE Night” at Fenway Park was a major home run and one of the most successful location-based entertainment experiences of the year-long 25th Anniversary celebration of “ONE PIECE.” So much so, that the legendary anime studio Toei Animation and the famed Boston Red Sox are joining forces once again to collaborate on another theme event. This year's Boston Red Sox X ONE PIECE Theme Day will take place on Saturday, May 3 during the team's match-up with the Minnesota Twins. This will be one of Toei Animation's newly launched national series of ONE PIECE theme events with some of MLB's top teams, which was developed based on fans' response to the first Boston Red Sox collaboration in 2024.

“We're thrilled to return to Fenway Park this May and host our second ONE PIECE themed day with the Boston Red Sox,” said LiSA Yamatoya, Senior Director, Global Marketing for Toei Animation Inc. “Combining ONE PIECE with America's favorite past time is the perfect recipe for creating a truly unforgettable fan experience.”

“Following the success of last year's inaugural ONE PIECE Night at Fenway Park, we couldn't be more excited to welcome the Straw Hat Crew back for another unforgettable experience,” said Travis Pollio, Director, Ticket Strategy and Promotions, Boston Red Sox. “The passion and enthusiasm from both Red Sox fans and ONE PIECE fans made it clear that this collaboration is something special. With this year's Boston Red Sox X ONE PIECE celebration, we're taking things to the next level with a custom jersey and hat giveaway for fans to enjoy. We can't wait to see Fenway Park filled with ONE PIECE pride on May 3.”

Tickets for Boston Red Sox X ONE PIECE Theme Day are on-sale now and are available for purchase exclusively at either redsox.com/onepiece or the Fenway Park ticket office. Fans can choose between General Admission and VIP ticket packages, which will include either a commemorative ONE PIECE Boston Red Sox jersey or a commemorative ONE PIECE Boston Red Sox jersey and baseball hat set, respectively.
