The Lakers’ promotional nights for the 2026-27 season, ranked

You’re not truly in the dog days of the summer until you start ranking promotional night giveaways.

The Lakers haven’t typically had many giveaway nights during the season, which makes this upcoming season different. Specifically, they’ll be giving away five different bobbleheads throughout the year, including three for former players, along with a couple of other giveaways.

There are a handful of other nights mixed in as well, including Phil Jackson’s statue unveiling at the end of the season as well as LGBTQ+ Pride Night (though I wish they wouldn’t continuously host it during the preseason) and Mental Health Awareness Night.

However, we’re here to rank the goodie giveaways, so let’s look at the seven nights fans can walk away with a freebie.

7. Norm Nixon Bobblehead, Dec.14

The Lakers will have a series of nights this season honoring figures of the franchise’s past, starting with Norm Nixon. He’s an oft-forgotten part of Lakers history, coming just before the Showtime Era. Still, he was a key piece of title-winning teams.

6. Paul Westhead Bobblehead, Jan. 14

The guy before the guy, Westhead, like Nixon, came just before one of the defining eras of the franchise’s history. And like Nixon, it’s nice that the franchise is honoring him.

5. Kurt Rambis Bobblehead, March 17

While Rambis has sort of sullied his reputation with the franchise for some with his role in the front office over the last decade or so, you can’t tell me that a bobblehead with those goggles won’t look extremely funny. It only would have been funnier if they did it in the game against Boston, considering that is the most iconic moment of his career.

In fact, I’ve even heard a former leader of this website is already camped out at Crypto.com Arena waiting to purchase tickets for this game.

4. Lakers x Dodgers Baseball-style Jersey, Nov. 17

Over/under 0.5 of these teams Mark Walter still owns by the time this game rolls around.

3. Austin Reaves Bobblehead, Dec. 27

Are Austin and Luka going to have a debate over whose bobblehead is cooler? Hopefully neither of them is sporting the awful new Nike jerseys for this…
