DODGERS TO FACE THE REDS IN THE NL WILD CARD BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 30
LOS ANGELES – After clinching their 12th National League West title in the last 13 years, the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Cincinnati Reds in Games 1, 2 and (if necessary) 3 in the National League Wild Card Series, beginning September 30th at 6:08 p.m. PT.
Tickets remain available for all three games at Dodgers.com/postseason. Fans are also encouraged to check the Postseason ticket inventory available on the Dodgers trusted secondary market partner, SeatGeek.
The Dodgers open the NL playoffs as the No. 3 seed, with the Reds as the No. 6 seed. Los Angeles took five of six games during the 2025 regular season, winning both series. This marks just the second postseason matchup between the clubs, the first coming in the 1995 NLDS when Cincinnati swept the Dodgers in three games.
Former Dodger reliever and three-time World Series Champion Joe Kelly will be on hand to deliver the first pitch, and gospel singer Keith Williams Jr. will sing the National Anthem ahead of Game 1. Game 2 will have Hall of Fame Spanish broadcaster and Dodger legend Jaime Jarrín toss the first pitch, and Amber Blu will sing the National Anthem. If a Game 3 is needed, Alana Hil will perform the National Anthem prior to the game. Each game will have a DJ in Centerfield Plaza playing before and after the game.
This postseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) will continue its stadium fundraising opportunities to help fans give back while celebrating their team. Fans can support LADF by purchasing a 50/50 raffle ticket from sellers in pink aprons, shopping exclusive merchandise and memorabilia at the LADF Homebase Store, bidding on autographed items at Dodgers.com/Auctions, or purchasing personalized ribbon board messages at Dodgers.com/RibbonBoards. In Centerfield Plaza, fans can create their own custom collectible Dodgers baseball trading card – available only at Dodger Stadium.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early, with auto gates opening three hours prior to first pitch at 3:38 p.m., and stadium gates will open two hours before first pitch at 4:08 p.m. ahead of all Wild Card games.
