Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets 2027: Your Guide to UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium

Dodgers 2027: the home of the Dodgers is UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium

The ballpark that Dodgers fans still call Dodger Stadium opened on April 10, 1962, and carries the name UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium in 2027. Only Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are older among big-league parks, yet the place never feels worn out: the concourses are open to the air, the palm trees still frame the outfield, and the San Gabriel Mountains sit on the horizon beyond the pavilions.

What makes Dodger Stadium different from every other Dodgers-era park

The stadium was built on a hill in Chavez Ravine, a few minutes from downtown Los Angeles, and its levels step down the slope instead of towering above the street. There is no roof, which is rarely a problem in a city that sees almost no rain between April and September. The official address, 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, honors the broadcaster who called Dodgers games for 67 seasons.

Getting to UNIQLO Field: Dodgers game-day transport and parking

Dodger Stadium sits in Elysian Park, roughly two miles north of Union Station, and it is not on a rail line. That is the first thing visitors should know. Most people drive, share a ride or take the Dodger Stadium Express, a game-day bus service that runs from Union Station and from the South Bay.

The Dodger Stadium Express from Union Station

Union Station is the most practical starting point if you are staying downtown or arrive by Metro rail or Amtrak. The shuttle drops you near the top of the grounds, so you save the long climb from the street. Plan to join the line early, because the crowds before a Friday or weekend game are heavy.

Driving, ride-share and parking at Dodger Stadium

The parking lots are large and spread over several terraced levels, and the entrances are on Sunset Boulevard and Stadium Way. Traffic on the 110 and 5 freeways builds from mid-afternoon, so arriving at least 90 minutes before first pitch is wise. After the game, give the lots a half hour to drain, or walk around the concourse and watch the lights come on over the city.

• Arrive early for batting practice if you want a calm entrance.
• Leave a margin on weekdays: freeway traffic around downtown is heavy before evening games.
• Pick a ride-share drop-off point before the game so the return is simpler.

Best seats and sections at Dodger Stadium for Dodgers fans

The seating bowl is organized by levels: Field Level at the bottom, then Loge, Reserve, and the Top Deck, with the Left Field and Right Field Pavilions beyond the foul poles and the club-level seating behind home plate. Each level has a distinct feel.

Field Level and the Dugout Club behind the Dodgers dugout

Field Level seats are closest to the action and give the best view of pitch location. The sections along the first and third baselines are the traditional choice for families who want to watch the fielders up close and maybe catch a foul ball.

Loge and Reserve: the balanced Dodger Stadium view

The Loge level gives a wide view of the infield and the mountains, and the Reserve level sits above it with a steep pitch that keeps you close to the field. For many visitors, a Loge seat behind the plate is the best compromise between view and comfort.

Pavilions and Top Deck for a budget night with the Dodgers

The outfield Pavilions are the classic low-cost option, with a lively crowd and home run chances. The Top Deck offers the most distant but also the most dramatic view, with downtown Los Angeles and the hills spread out in front of you. Expect strong late-afternoon sun in the first weeks of the season, so a hat and sunscreen matter more than a jacket until the sun goes down; after dark, bring a light layer.

Dodgers traditions: food, music and the ritual of a night in Chavez Ravine

The Dodgers ritual starts at the gate and ends when the music plays after a home win: Randy Newman's "I Love LA" blasts through the speakers, and fans stay to sing along. During the seventh inning stretch the crowd sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" together.

Dodger Dog and the food of Dodger Stadium

The Dodger Dog, a long grilled or steamed hot dog in a soft bun, is the traditional first order and the food most associated with the ballpark. Beyond it, the concourses serve tacos, garlic fries, sushi, burgers, churros and craft beer, a reflection of the city's food culture.

Why the Dodgers crowd arrives late and leaves early

Los Angeles fans have a reputation for arriving after the first pitch, mainly because of freeway traffic. On the other hand, for big series the park is full and loud from the first inning. The cultural roots of the club run deep: Fernando Valenzuela's rookie season in 1981 created "Fernandomania" and brought the large Mexican and Mexican-American fan base to the park, and that bond remains visible in the music, language and food around the stadium.

Dodgers rivalries in 2027: Giants, Padres and the Freeway Series

The oldest rivalry is the one against the San Francisco Giants. The two clubs fought each other in New York before moving west together in 1958, and their games still carry extra tension. In 2027 the Giants visit Los Angeles for four games from May 6 to 9 and for three more from July 30 to August 1. The Dodgers travel to Oracle Park on June 14-16 and August 6-8. See the Giants page for the other side of that rivalry.

Dodgers and Padres, the neighbor rivalry

San Diego is the closest National League West rival and has beaten Los Angeles in a postseason series, which sharpened the competition. The Padres come to Dodger Stadium on May 21-23 and September 10-12, and the Dodgers play at Petco Park on April 9-11 and July 26-29. Read about them on the Padres page.

The Freeway Series against the Angels

The Los Angeles Angels play in nearby Anaheim, which gives the city its Freeway Series. In 2027, the Angels visit UNIQLO Field on July 16-18, while the Dodgers go to Angel Stadium on May 28-30. The Dodgers also host the Athletics from July 19 to 21, and the New York Yankees from August 27 to 29, a series with World Series history between the clubs.

The 2027 Dodgers home calendar: opening day, special dates and busy months

The Dodgers open the season at home on March 25, 2027, against the Atlanta Braves, on the same day as the league-wide Opening Day. They play 81 home games at UNIQLO Field, with the last one on September 19 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. First-pitch times have not been announced yet.

Month by month at Dodger Stadium

The home schedule is divided as follows: 6 games in March, 10 in April, 15 in May, 12 in June, 12 in July, 15 in August and 11 in September. May and August are the busiest, which makes them good months to plan a trip if you want choice among dates.

Special days in the Dodgers' 2027 home schedule

Jackie Robinson Day falls on April 15 against the Colorado Rockies, and the Dodgers have a particular connection to it: Robinson broke baseball's color barrier with the club in 1947. Roberto Clemente Day is on September 15 against the Toronto Blue Jays. Other series worth marking include the Minnesota Twins from March 29 to 31, the Chicago Cubs from April 16 to 18, and the New York Mets from July 1 to 4, a four-game stretch around the national holiday.

Tickets for the Dodgers in 2027: when to buy and how to avoid mistakes

Single-game tickets for a season usually go on sale in the winter, a few weeks before the Spring Training games begin, and the club's best series sell out first. Dates and release windows for 2027 have not been announced yet, so the safest approach is to be notified as soon as they are.

Choosing the right Dodgers game

Tuesday and Wednesday nights are generally calmer than weekends, and the early-season series in April offer pleasant weather at the park. Rivalry series against the Giants, Padres and Angels, as well as the opener and Jackie Robinson Day, attract the largest crowds, so plan those first.

Secure resale and Dodgers tickets

If a game is sold out, use only secured resale options that guarantee your entry, and avoid unknown sellers or social media offers. Check the section, the row and the date carefully before paying, and keep the digital ticket on your phone with the battery charged on game day.

The simplest next step is to sign up for the alert on this page: you will be told when Dodgers tickets become available, when new games open and when prices drop. You can also use the ticket button on the page when sales begin.

Visiting the Dodgers from Europe or Latin America: practical tips for 2027

Los Angeles is on Pacific Time. That means 9 hours behind Paris and Madrid for most of the season, and 8 hours for the two weeks in March when the United States has switched to daylight time before Europe. Mexico City, which no longer changes its clocks, is usually one or two hours ahead. Games will start in the early evening in most cases, but the schedule has not been published, so do not book anything non-refundable around a start time yet.

How long is a Dodgers game now

Thanks to the pitch clock, a typical nine-inning game lasts around three hours, which is shorter than it used to be. Plan about three and a half hours from the gate opening to the last out if you include the walk to the exit.

Weather at Dodger Stadium and combining the trip

From April to September, days are dry and warm and evenings are pleasant, while May and June can start with a cooler marine layer. Use a game to anchor a trip that includes Santa Monica, Hollywood, Griffith Park and downtown, and combine it with a game in Anaheim or San Diego using the guide for visitors from Europe. Spring Training is a good warm-up; see Spring Training 2027.

Dodgers history: from Brooklyn to nine World Series titles

The franchise began in Brooklyn in 1883 and moved to Los Angeles before the 1958 season. It won its first World Series in Brooklyn in 1955, and has won eight more in Los Angeles: 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988, 2020, 2024 and 2025.

Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers legends

Jackie Robinson, who debuted in 1947, is the most important figure in club history, and his number 42 is retired throughout baseball. Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale led the pitching staff of the 1960s, and Tommy Lasorda managed the teams of the late 1970s and 1980s. Vin Scully's voice remains the sound of the club for generations of listeners.
