The Los Angeles Dodgers will unofficially begin their march toward avenging their World Series loss on Friday, Feb. 23, 2018, against the Chicago White Sox in the first Spring Training game of the year. First pitch at Camelback Ranch is set for 12:05 p.m. PT.

The Dodgers only have two Friday home games during Spring Training, but spend four of five Saturdays during the month of February at Camelback Ranch. The Saturday contests are comprised with matchups against the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs and White Sox.

In total, the Dodgers will play 17 of their 30 Cactus League games at Camelback Ranch, including 15 as the home team. The only off days are Tuesday, March 13, and Wednesday, March 21. This year is the club’s 10th at the facility since relocating from Vero Beach, Fla.

Per usual, after breaking camp in Arizona (on March 24), the Dodgers return to Southern California for a three-game exhibition Freeway Series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The first contest is set for 6:07 p.m. on Sunday, March, 25, at Angel Stadium. The series will then shift to Dodger Stadium for games on March 26 and 27, with a 7:10 p.m. first pitch for both games.

The Dodgers, plus all other clubs, will take the field for Opening Day of the 2018 season on Thursday, March 29, marking the earliest start in MLB history.

Tickets for games at Camelback Ranch start as low as $10. Season tickets, mini-plans, group tickets and suites are all available now at www.dodgers.com/spring or by calling (623) 302-5099. Single-game Spring Training tickets go on sale on Friday, Jan. 5, 2018.
