when is platinum glove announced

The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award is typically announced in early November, at the Rawlings Gold Glove Award Dinner in New York City, a few days after the Gold Glove winners are revealed each year.

Timing basics

• The Platinum Glove is a postseason defensive award in MLB, coming after the Gold Glove announcements each fall.

• In recent seasons, the Gold Glove winners have been announced on TV in early November, with the Platinum Glove awards then unveiled at the Gold Glove Dinner a few days later (for example, November 7 in 2025).

How the date is set

• There is no single fixed calendar date (like “always November 7”), but it consistently falls in the first half of November, tied to MLB’s broader awards schedule after the World Series.

• Each year, Rawlings and MLB publish the exact date as part of their awards-season calendar and press releases, along with fan-voting windows and event details.

Recent example (2025)

• In 2025, the Gold Glove winners were announced on November 2, and the Platinum Glove Awards were then presented at the Rawlings Gold Glove Dinner in New York on November 7.

• That night, players such as Bobby Witt Jr. were honored as Platinum Glove recipients, highlighting them as the best overall defenders in their leagues.

TL;DR: If you are planning around it, expect the Platinum Glove announcement to land at the Rawlings Gold Glove Dinner in early November, with the exact day posted each season on MLB and Rawlings award schedules.
