The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres will play for the ‘Vedder Cup,’ beginning with a three-game series in Seattle Friday.
www.kiro7.comHere’s the latest on the Vedder Cup.
- The Vedder Cup is the official name for the annual regular-season series between the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres, created to honor Eddie Vedder and to support Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) research. The trophy and branding were introduced in 2025 and have continued in subsequent seasons.[3][6]
- In 2025, the Mariners claimed the inaugural Vedder Cup after a 9-6 win in Seattle, with the trophy designed by Eddie Vedder himself. The series is six games per season, split between Seattle and San Diego, and the trophy is awarded to the team with the better results across those games.[4][3]
- Public-facing promotions and media coverage emphasize Eddie Vedder’s involvement and EB Research Partnership, with donation drives and awareness efforts tied to the games. Recent official pages reiterate the cup’s continuity into 2026 and beyond, including schedules around the two stadiums.[2][6][3]
