Dodgers Won’t Visit White House During Only D.C. Trip
· Yahoo Sports
The Los Angeles Dodgers will not visit the White House during their early-season trip to play against the Washington Nationals this year.
LA previously went to the White House to celebrate their World Series win during their trip to Washington D.C. in 2025, but will find a different date to visit the Oval Office in 2026. The Dodgers play the Nationals in the third series of their season, serving as the opponent for their home opener April 3.

After the Dodgers declared their intent to go to the White House during the coming season, calls for the Dodgers to reconsider rang out across social media. Despite this, manager Dave Roberts made it clear he would still be attending the ceremony.
“For me, it doesn’t matter who is in the office, I’m going to go to the White House,” Roberts told the LA Times. “I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says and not try to make political statements, because I am not a politician.”

“A side trip to D.C. before the July 17-19 series at Yankee Stadium would shorten the All-Star break by a day for Dodgers players – a sacrifice many would not likely endorse,” Plunkett wrote. “After three games in Philadelphia, however, the Dodgers have an off day before returning to New York for a three-game series against the Mets.
“That off day (July 23) might be the least disruptive – and therefore most likely – to schedule a return to the White House.”
