The Washington Nationals announced their promotion schedule for the 2020 MLB season, Monday morning. After winning the World Series, the Nationals will kick off their season with Champions Week, which will include several World Series-themed promotions. The team will reveal their new banner on Opening Day, April 2, while they will present World Series rings to players on April 4. On April 7, the Nats will give away Davey Martinez World Series champion bobbleheads – one of eight bobbles they will be giving away to fans this season.

New to the Nationals this year will be Justice League, Sesame Street, and WWE-themed nights while the team will be bringing back their Pups in the Park and Cat-urday promotions.

There’s no official hockey days at Nationals Park, but if the Capitals win another Stanley Cup hopefully they’ll throw an impromptu party anyway.
