An action-packed schedule, home runs and Racing Presidents add up to one exciting baseball experience in the District.
The Washington Nationals’ schedule delivers can't-miss matchups throughout the season.
So far, the Nationals kicked off July with 8 straight home games including a July 1-4 series against divisional rival the New York Mets. The excitement grew over Independence Day weekend with Postgame Freedom Fireworks on Friday, plus a pregame flyover and chance to grab a free 25oz Budweiser by scanning your tickets at select locations on Saturday July 4. Other Home series have included matchups against Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres (July 23-25).
The best is yet to come with showdowns against former Nationals all-stars Juan Soto and Bryce Harper when the New York Yankees (Aug. 26-28) and Philadelphia Phillies (Sept. 27-29) come to town. Come on a Tuesday night for deals and steals, including tickets starting at $9, $10 parking and $3-$4-$5 menu items like pretzels, hot dogs and pizzas.

Kids eat free at every game, so you can focus on cheering without worrying about your budget. Fans of this deal include radio host Grant Paulsen, who shared: "There is no better deal in DC sports. When you take your kid to Nats Park, they get a free hot dog, chips and bottled water. Not an ad. Just a parent telling you this is an awesome thing."

On Sundays, after the final inning, don't miss a beloved tradition: kids run the bases. Children between the ages of four and twelve can run the bases for free. Experience the joy of baseball together with your family by getting tickets today.
For the first time in a decade, the Nats are bringing back their postgame Summer Concert Series with some fantastic artists on the docket.
