The 2026 Los Angeles Dodgers season will be the 137th season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 69th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 65th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium. They will enter the season as the two-time defending National League champions, and two-time defending World Series champions. They will look to become the first team to three-peat since the 2000 New York Yankees, as well as the first National League team to accomplish this feat. This will be the Dodgers first season since 2007 to not include pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the active roster, since he retired after the 2025 season.
