The roar of the crowd at Dodger Stadium returns this weekend, albeit briefly.
On Saturday, the third-oldest stadium in Major League Baseball will open its gates and let the noise spill out for DodgerFest 2026 — the annual, unapologetic love letter between the Dodgers and the city that lives and dies with them.
But this year’s rendition isn’t a pep rally. It’s a victory lap.
Fresh off back-to-back World Series championships in 2024 and 2025, the Dodgers are hosting DodgerFest presented by Budweiser as both a celebration of dominance and a warning shot aimed at the rest of baseball. The past will be honored. The future will be stared down. All in one sun-soaked day in Chavez Ravine.

The festivities kick off at 9 a.m. until the early afternoon as the historic stadium transforms into a giant playground for fans that bleed Dodger Blue. Fans will be able to roam the Field and Reserve Levels, purchase tickets for autograph sessions, meet and greets, selfies, live chats with players, and VIP experiences that will last a lifetime.
VIP experiences run from 9:20 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., offering clubhouse tours, Vin Scully Press Box access, Jackie Robinson legacy tours, and photos with the 2024 and 2025 World Series trophies. Yes, both of them.
Additionally, there will be interactive games, sponsor activations, ballpark food, live music, and exclusive merchandise.
At 12:30 p.m., the centerpiece arrives. Hosted by Joe Davis and Stephen Nelson, the 90-minute seated stage show brings out the heavy hitters — literally and figuratively. MVPs Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani. World Series Game 7 heroes Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas, and Will Smith. Manager Dave Roberts and architects Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes, all peering ahead at a three-peat that suddenly feels very real.
Tickets are more expensive this year, but that’s the price you pay for the highest payroll in MLB after the back-to-back champs added All-Star closer Edwin Diaz and slugger Kyle Tucker to their already vaunted roster.
Auto gates open at 8:30 a.m. Stadium entry follows at 9. Parking is separate. Tickets are available at dodgers.com/dodgerfest.
