Dodgers Not Visiting White House In April Due To Scheduling Conflicts

"The Dodgers' first road trip of the regular season will start in Washington with three games against the Nationals on April 3-5. But sources confirmed that the Dodgers will not visit the White House. However, scheduling issues will prevent the team from visiting during its series against the Nationals. All three games at Nationals Park on Easter and Passover weekend are day games."

"When the Dodgers visited the White House last year, it was before a night game against the Nationals. They won't have that luxury this year, as all three of their matchups in Washington, D.C., are in the afternoon. The team considered leaving a day early to visit the White House on April 2, but scheduling issues made that impossible."

Following their 2025 World Series victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers received a White House invitation from President Donald Trump for the second consecutive year. The team was expected to visit during their first road trip in early April when facing the Washington Nationals, mirroring their 2024 visit after winning the previous World Series. However, scheduling conflicts will prevent the April visit. All three games at Nationals Park occur on Easter and Passover weekend as day games at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 1:30 p.m. ET. Although the Dodgers have Thursday off before the series, attempting an April 2 visit proved impossible due to scheduling constraints. The team remains likely to visit the White House at another time during the season.
