NY Mets Pride Night 2026

About NY Mets Pride Night 2026

NY Mets Pride Night 2026 brings LGBTQ+ baseball fans out to Citi Field on Friday, June 26, as the Mets take the field for their annual Pride celebration with first pitch at 7:10 p.m. It is one of the most fun, low-key ways to spend a Pride-weekend evening, a night at the ballpark in Queens surrounded by rainbow-clad Mets faithful as the celebration kicks into gear across the city. The team's Pride Night centers on a special ticket package, with the first 15,000 fans in the special section receiving a Mets Pride sleeveless jersey, and a portion of every ticket in the package benefiting NYC Pride. Expect pre-game recognition of the LGBTQ+ community, music, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the ballpark, so you do not need to be a die-hard fan to have a great time. Grab a beer, a Shake Shack, and a seat in the summer evening air and settle in for nine innings of Pride. A few local tips. Citi Field is one of the easiest ballparks in the country to reach by transit, sitting right at the Mets-Willets Point station on the 7 train and the LIRR, so skip driving and the parking fees. Buy the Pride ticket package in advance through the Mets to lock in the jersey, since they go to the first fans on a first-come basis. The ballpark sits next to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park if you want to make an afternoon of it first. Relaxed, all-ages, and easy to reach, Mets Pride Night is a great way to open the final stretch of NYC Pride 2026.
