Based on the health circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic along with governmental directives prohibiting large gatherings, Dodger Stadium will be unable to host fans at the start of the season. Fans looking to have a presence at Dodger Stadium can still purchase a Fan Cutout, with net proceeds benefitting the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation. To date, the club has sold over 5,000 cutouts and raised over $850,000 for the Dodgers Foundation. Fans can continue to purchase cutouts – for themselves or their dogs – at Dodgers.com/FanCutouts. 

Dodger Stadium remains closed to the public, but fans are still able to order team gear for curbside pickup. Fans can browse merchandise on Instagram (@DodgersTopOfThePark) or on DodgersShop.com, and call 323-224-2621 or e-mail topofthepark@ladodgers.com to place an order. Upon arrival at the designated pick up zone, a team store employee will load purchased gear into vehicles for full contactless delivery.

The Dodgers’ 60-game season includes 10 games against each divisional opponent and Interleague matchups against the American League West’s Angels, Astros, Athletics, Rangers and Mariners. The full schedule can be found at Dodgers.com/schedule.
