MLB boosts game attendance with World Cup‑linked promotions

Major League Baseball clubs rolled out a suite of World Cup‑themed promotions to lure soccer fans during the 2026 tournament. Special ticket bundles featuring football motifs, in‑stadium mini‑games and player autograph sessions were offered on game days.

The initiatives drove a 20‑30 % rise in attendance in host cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, with some venues reaching record‑high capacities.
