Kansas City has several documented giveaways and prize promotions remaining in 2026, but there is no single citywide program for local winners. The current list includes a Royals online promotion, baseball gate giveaways, and a KC Current paid raffle. As of August 12, eligibility, entry costs, deadlines, and prize access vary by organizer.
Here, "giveaway" covers promotional prizes and event merchandise, while the paid 50/50 raffle is identified separately.

The remaining documented promotions are: The [Royals' 2026 gate-giveaway calendar](https://www.mlb.com/royals/tickets/promotions/giveaways) identifies the listed baseball promotions by game date. These are scheduled event promotions, so confirm the current listing and availability before buying tickets or traveling.
- August 17–19: Royals Big Bobby online promotion
- August 21: City Connect Crossbody Bag at the Royals–Tigers game
- August 22: George Brett Alternate Jersey at the Royals–Tigers game

Which promotion can you enter online?
The Big Bobby promotion runs from August 17 through August 19. Its prize pool includes one four-ticket game-day package with parking, valued at $400, and three autographed bobbleheads. The [Kansas City Royals' Big Bobby rules](https://www.mlb.com/royals/fans/big-bobby-sweepstakes/rules) limit entry to adults within the eligible United States and Canada territory.
Travel is excluded, which matters for winners who live outside the Kansas City area.
Which August giveaways require game attendance?
The City Connect Crossbody Bag is scheduled for the August 21 Tigers game. The George Brett Alternate Jersey follows at the August 22 Tigers game. These are gate giveaways rather than online drawings.
The distinction is practical: readers must attend the applicable game and should verify item availability before making plans.
What remains on the September schedule?
September begins with three consecutive listed promotions: Royal-Tees on September 5, the Big Bling Birthday Bash Chain on September 6, and the Iced Out Hockey Jersey on September 7. The chain is limited to fans age 14 and under. Later, the [Royals' giveaway schedule](https://www.mlb.com/royals/tickets/promotions/giveaways) lists a Salvador Perez City Connect Bobblehead for September 25 and a Jersey Jacket for September 26.
Both are tied to games against Cleveland.
Why is the KC Current raffle different?
KC Current's fifth 2026 50/50 raffle runs from August 1 through August 29 around its home match. One eligible winner receives half of the raffle's gross ticket-sale proceeds. Unlike the other listed promotions, this is a paid raffle rather than a no-cost giveaway.
Participants must be at least 18, according to the [KC Current and United Way of Greater Kansas City raffle rules](https://www.kansascitycurrent.com/official-50-50-raffle-participation-rules). Before entering or purchasing anything:
- Confirm whether the promotion is online, at the gate, or a paid raffle.
- Check the deadline, age rule, and geographic eligibility.
- Review what the prize excludes, especially travel.
- Recheck the organizer's page before attending an event.
