BTS Hit a Home Run With ‘ARIRANG’ & Now They’re Soundtracking MLB’s Opening Week With New Hype Videos

BTS will be first up to bat as Major League Baseball returns for another year. As revealed Tuesday (March 24), songs from the band’s new album ARIRANG will soundtrack MLB’s social content in honor of opening week.

The news dropped via the first of three hype videos the Bangtan Boys and MLB will jointly promote across their social channels. The clip features “FYA,” one of the most adrenaline-pumping tracks on BTS’ new LP, playing over exciting footage of players such as the Yankees’ Aaron Judge, the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani and the Mets’ Juan Soto taking big swings and scoring big on the diamond.

A second video will go live Wednesday, the same day the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants will play the first game of the 2026 season at Oracle Park in California, which Netflix will stream live. Thursday will serve as baseball’s traditional opening day, with 13 scheduled games.

A third and final BTS x MLB video will drop at some point the following week.

The boy band’s pro baseball partnership comes shortly after BTS knocked its long-awaited comeback out of the park, dropping ARIRANG on Friday and following it up with a massive concert in Seoul. It’s a good time for the septet to join hands with America’s pastime, as members RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook are currently in the United States for ARIRANG promo. Following a Spotify fan event on Monday, they’ll appear on two back-to-back episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airing Wednesday and Thursday.
