The Chicago Cubs’ 2026 season has been quite the journey.
Just over a month before the All-Star break, Craig Counsell’s team notched its second 10-game winning streak. And yes, they also faced a streak of 10 losses in a row.
This season’s unpredictability doesn’t take away from the solid lineup of giveaways at Wrigley Field, which promises some nostalgic treasures.

But it’s not only about the giveaways—there are significant home games set against rivals like the Cardinals, White Sox, Yankees, Brewers, and the reigning champions, the Dodgers. The Cubs are vying for their first National League Central Division title since the 2020 season, which was cut short by the pandemic.
“In my view, no ballpark captures the essence, spirit, and history of baseball like Wrigley.” This sentiment echoes what one enthusiastic reviewer wrote back in 2015. Wrigley offers a charm that feels rooted in a simpler time, long before the tech boom and rapid urbanization. The iconic ivy remains a symbol of that heritage.
If you’re hungry while cheering on the Cubs, you can find hot dogs, chicken tender baskets, and even Jim Beam cocktails among the various food and drink choices available.
