President Donald Trump reportedly will welcome the World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House later this month.

The visit, scheduled for July 23, will honor the Dodgers' second consecutive World Series championship and continue a long-standing tradition of championship teams being recognized by the president, according to the New York Post.

A White House official told the Post the Dodgers will visit during an off-day between a three-game series in Philadelphia and another against the New York Mets.

"President Trump is excited to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers BACK to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship!" White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement.

The announcement ends months of speculation over whether the defending champions would make the trip.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said during the offseason that he intended to follow tradition by accepting the invitation.

However, the club was unable to schedule a White House visit during its April series against the Washington Nationals because of scheduling conflicts.

The July itinerary provided an opening before the team resumes its East Coast road trip.

The Dodgers previously visited the White House in April 2025 after winning the 2024 World Series.

During that ceremony, Trump praised the franchise and singled out Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, complimenting both his accomplishments on the field and his "movie star" appearance.

Veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw defended the tradition at the time, saying the opportunity transcends politics.

"Getting to go to the White House, getting to see the Oval Office, getting to meet the president of the United States, that's stuff that you can't lose sight of, no matter what you believe," Kershaw said after the previous visit.

The Dodgers' return comes as Trump has increasingly welcomed championship teams during his second term.

Newsmax previously reported that the NBA champion New York Knicks also plan to visit the White House after accepting Trump's invitation following their first title in more than five decades.

Team owner James Dolan reportedly helped facilitate that visit, which would make the Knicks the first NBA champions to visit Trump during his current term.

White House championship visits have occasionally become politically contentious in recent years, with some teams declining invitations or citing scheduling conflicts.

Others, including the Dodgers, have emphasized that the tradition is about honoring athletic achievement and celebrating a championship season regardless of which president occupies the Oval Office.
