When Dodgers will visit Trump White House for World Series win

The Los Angeles Dodgers are going back to the White House.

The Dodgers will visit President Donald Trump on July 23 to celebrate their second straight World Series championship, the California Post reported on Thursday, July 9, citing a White House official. The team found a window on an off day during an East Coast swing.

For a while it looked like the trip might not happen. The Dodgers' only scheduled visit to Washington came in April against the Nationals, and the game schedule left no room for the traditional ceremony.

"As was the case one year ago, the Dodgers upcoming visits to the White House and Capitol Hill follow the longtime tradition of visits by other World Series champions," the Dodgers' statement to the California Post read.

Manager Dave Roberts never wavered on it publicly. He said he was "going to continue to try to do what tradition says."

The tradition has gotten complicated in recent years. The Golden State Warriors saw their 2017 invitation pulled after Stephen Curry said he didn't want to go and celebrate with a president whose rhetoric and values he disagreed with. Trump canceled the Philadelphia Eagles' celebration a year later when most of the roster planned to skip it, and several Boston Red Sox players, along with Alex Cora, skipped the team's 2019 visit.

The Dodgers have gone twice before. They went in 2021 and again in April 2025 after the first title of this run. Clayton Kershaw, the former Dodger ace, made no apologies for it. He said that the team could not lose sight of the fact it was a chance to meet the president of the United States and see the Oval Office "no matter what you believe."
