Nike is keeping the City Connect series moving in 2026, and the latest batch looks like another strong step for the program. Since launching in 2021, the Nike x MLB project has turned jerseys into a way for teams to represent more than just baseball, using color, design, and local details to reflect the identity of each city.
For the 2026 season, Nike is again working with Major League Baseball and Fanatics to deliver a new round of uniforms that focus on present-day culture rather than only looking back at team history. The goal feels clear here. These jerseys are meant to show how each franchise connects with its community right now, while also highlighting the energy that surrounds today’s fan bases.
This year’s group includes eight teams: the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, and Texas Rangers. Each club reportedly worked closely with Nike to bring regional inspiration and local pride into the final design, giving every jersey a more personal feel.
The new 2026 MLB City Connect jerseys are now available directly on Nike.com.
With the concept still centered on storytelling and city pride, this latest rollout should once again grab attention from both baseball fans and collectors.
