Dodgers will reportedly visit White House on July 23 to celebrate World Series title

The Los Angeles Dodgers will head to the White House to celebrate their second-straight World Series title on July 23, according to the California Post.

The Dodgers will travel from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. on the off-day of their nine-game East Coast road trip where they will play the Phillies, New York Yankees and New York Mets.

"President Trump is excited to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers BACK to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship!" said White House assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers in a statement.

President Donald Trump posted an invitation to the Dodgers on social media shortly after their dramatic win in Game 7:

"Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!! A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter. So many stars made it all happen. Also, congratulations to ownership. What a great job they have done. SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!"

It was reported in February that the team was expected to make the trip at some point during the 2026 MLB season.

While there was a backlash to attending the Trump White House last year, the team still put on a united front and had no notable holdouts despite past comments and actions, such as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts saying he would have skipped a visit in 2019 and Mookie Betts not attending with the Boston Red Sox after 2018.

Dodgers president Stan Kasten claimed "all" the players wanted to go in 2025, though at least one player wasn't too enthusiastic. Kiké Hernández, a Puerto Rican fan favorite who has criticized Trump in the past, described it as "kind of a lose-lose situation for me" in comments to radio reporter Dave Vassegh.

Roberts told the Los Angeles Times in February that going to the White House to celebrate the World Series is a part of tradition.

"I was raised — by a man who served our country for 30 years — to respect the highest office in our country. For me, it doesn't matter who is in the office, I'm going to go to the White House. I've never tried to be political. For me, I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says and not try to make political statements, because I am not a politician."

World Series champions have typically made their White House visit when in town to play the Nationals. The schedule did not allow the Dodgers to make the trip when they played Washington in early April.
