Players Weekend is an annual Major League Baseball (MLB) event held from 2017 to 2019, and since 2024, in which players on all 30 MLB teams wore colorful baseball uniforms based on youth sports designs and sported nicknames on the back of their jerseys during regular season games. The league also relaxed the rules for cleats, batting gloves, wristbands, compression sleeves, catcher's masks, and bats, allowing players to use custom-designed gear. The multi-day event was designed to give players the opportunity to express their personal style, appeal to the youth demographic, and acquaint hometown fans with newer team members.
In a departure from previous seasons, the 2019 event saw monochromatic uniforms and caps. The all-white or all-black apparel was intended to make logos and accessories, which players were allowed to customize, stand out more. Following the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened 2020 season and a change that season in uniform suppliers from Majestic to Nike (Nike added their logo to all 30 MLB uniforms, also of which instituted a new "City Connect" uniform program), the event went on hiatus from 2020 to 2023.
Players Weekend will return in 2024, but without special uniforms.
