Cygames is moving into Major League Baseball for the first time. The studio behind Granblue Fantasy and Uma Musume Pretty Derby has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking title sponsorship of a regular-season game on September 2, 2026, at Dodger Stadium.
The centerpiece is a giveaway: every attendee receives a Shohei Ohtani model 2025 World Series championship ring, commemorating the Dodgers' back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025. The game against the St. Louis Cardinals starts at 7:10 PM local time.
Cygames has previously sponsored the Prix de Paris horse race in France. This is its first MLB tie-up. The company's name and logo will appear on stadium screens, signage, the official website, social media, and giveaways, with a booth on the stadium grounds offering hands-on access to Cygames content.
Whether Ohtani will play in the game, and how the rings will be distributed, has not been announced.
