The Los Angeles Dodgers begin the 2017 National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs with Game 1 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Game 2 is set for Sunday, then the series shifts to Wrigley Field for Games 3 and 4, on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

If necessary, the Cubs would also host Game 5, played Wednesday. Should the series extend beyond that point, Dodger Stadium would be the backdrop for Games 6 and 7 on Saturday, Oct. 21 and Sunday, Oct. 22, respectively.

First pitch on Saturday is set for 5:08 p.m. PT, with pregame ceremonies beginning at 4:30 p.m. Auto and stadium gates will each open at 2:10 p.m. Tommy Davis will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1, and Keith Williams Jr. will sing the national anthem.

Game 2 begins at 4:38 p.m., which translates to auto and Dodger Stadium gates opening at 1:30 p.m. Pregame ceremonies begin at 4:15, first pitch honor goes to Manny Mota, and multi-platinum recording artist Tinashe will sing the anthem.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for all postseason games at Dodger Stadium. They are also urged to purchase parking in advance, carpool or utilize a rideshare service. Advance parking can be purchased at Dodgers.com/parking for $20. Parking at the gate will cost $30.

The Dodger Stadium Express is operating during the postseason from both Union Station and the South Bay. Service starts two hours before first pitch and is free for everyone with a game ticket.
