It’s almost baseball season again, and Dodgers fans are headed back to Glendale, Arizona, for spring training.
Pitchers and catchers report Friday, Feb. 13, while the first full-team workout is set for Tuesday, Feb. 17.
Whether you’re looking to check out high-profile additions like closer Edwin Díaz and outfielder Kyle Tucker or get a closer look at some of the hopefuls looking to make the roster, you’ll find them at Camelback Ranch, which the Dodgers share with the Chicago White Sox.

Games begin Saturday, Feb. 21, with the Boys in Blue traveling to face the Angels at Temple Diablo Stadium, though they’ll host the Seattle Mariners on Monday, Feb. 23.
The Dodgers will also host Team Mexico for a game on March 4.
Other prominent matchups at Camelback Ranch include:
- The Los Angeles Angels on March 1
- The San Francisco Giants on March 18
- The San Diego Padres on March 20
If you’re looking to catch stars like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, plan to catch early matchups, as they won’t be present for the entirety of spring training.
While you’re there, grab a Dodger Dog at First Base Franks or Hot Corner Dogs, or find classic stadium fare like pizza, chicken tenders, lemonade, and other treats at vendors around the stadium.
And don’t forget to check out the new Shohei Ohtani merchandise.
