Big-League Benefits Just for Military Members
USAA membership already offers a wide range of financial and insurance perks, but for baseball fans, the real magic happens in the seats—and sometimes, on the field. Thanks to a strategic partnership with MLB, military families can now access deep ticket discounts across a wide selection of regular-season and premium games.
It’s not just about being in the stadium. It’s about being able to afford to go regularly, share the experience with family, and create lifelong memories without breaking the budget. With discounts as high as 50 percent, service members can enjoy matchups that would otherwise be out of reach.
During All-Star Week and key postseason matchups, USAA members may also receive priority ticket access, giving them a shot at some of the most sought-after games of the season. It’s a benefit that levels the playing field for those who’ve spent their lives serving others.
Making Stadiums Feel Like Home
Many MLB teams take the appreciation even further with Military Appreciation Zones, exclusive pregame areas where USAA members and military families can relax, socialize, and enjoy food and drink specials before the action starts. These zones create a sense of belonging—especially for those who are new to a city or far from their home base.
Ballparks like Petco Park and Truist Park have become leaders in this space, offering regularly hosted Military Sundays, where fans in uniform are saluted, seated together, and celebrated on the field. These moments give fans a powerful reminder that military families are part of the heartbeat of the community.

Streaming Access for Fans on the Move
Life in the military often involves travel, moves, and deployments that make it hard to stay connected to a favorite team. With the MLB.TV discount, eligible USAA members can stream games anywhere at a lower cost. That means service members stationed across the country—or across the world—can still catch every pitch, every inning, and every walk-off moment.
This benefit isn’t just convenient, it’s a lifeline for those looking to maintain a sense of normalcy and home. Whether stationed in Japan or transitioning between assignments stateside, military families can keep rooting for their team without interruption.
Real Recognition for Real Service
The most powerful part of this partnership may be its public moments of appreciation. From first-pitch honors to in-game tributes and pregame ceremonies, MLB and USAA make sure fans recognize the faces and stories behind the uniform.
For the men and women of the armed forces, it’s more than applause—it’s visibility, gratitude, and respect shared with tens of thousands in the stands and millions watching at home.
And for their families, it’s a reminder that their sacrifices don’t go unnoticed.
Where Tradition and Service Meet
Baseball and military service have always shared deep roots—from the songs and traditions to the national pride woven into every game. Through USAA’s work with MLB, those roots now grow stronger, more inclusive, and more rewarding for the people who’ve given the most.
For military families looking to reconnect with the sport, the stadium, and each other—USAA membership is the ticket.
