Add The California Post on Google The Los Angeles Dodgers have booked a date with the White House to celebrate the team’s second-straight World Series title, The California Post has learned.
The team will visit the White House on July 23 during an off day between a three-game series against the Phillies and a three-game set with the Mets on an East Coast road trip, a White House official told The Post.
“President Trump is excited to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers BACK to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship!” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement.
The now-planned visit ends months of speculation swirling around the trip.
While manager Dave Roberts stated in the offseason he fully intended on going — “I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says,” he said — the Dodgers did miss out on the opportunity to celebrate with President Trump while they were in D.C. for their series against the Nationals in April.
The Dodgers couldn’t fit a White House visit into their series against Washington because of the game schedule, and with no other trips to the nation’s capital this season, it appeared they would miss the tradition.
But with an off day between series in Philadelphia (July 20–22) and New York (July 24–26), they found a window that worked for a visit with Trump.
The team previously celebrated a World Series win with Trump in April 2025. During that visit, Trump glowed about the Dodgers, praising the team while acknowledging Shohei Ohtani’s “movie star” looks.
Former Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw called that White House visit “an incredible honor to get to go see, regardless of who’s in office.”
“We went in 2021,” Kershaw said. “We went this time. I know there’s been a lot of stuff about, should the Dodgers go? All this stuff. But at the end of the day, getting to go to the White House, getting to see the Oval Office, getting to meet the President of the United States, that’s stuff that you can’t lose sight of, no matter what you believe.”
