Which team did the Dodgers face in three 2026 Freeway Series exhibitions?

The Dodgers faced the Los Angeles Angels in three 2026 Freeway Series exhibition games. The spring matchups were the final tune-ups for both Southern California clubs before the Dodgers opened their regular season.

The “Freeway Series” is the traditional name for the Dodgers–Angels rivalry. It refers to the freeway network—especially Interstate 5—that connects Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The clubs first met in preseason exhibitions decades before regular-season interleague play began.

The rivalry became a regular-season matchup in 1997, after MLB introduced interleague play. Exhibition games are separate from the official standings, but they remain a popular way for local fans to see established stars and prospective roster players shortly before Opening Day. The Giants, Athletics and Padres are also California opponents, but none is the team identified by the Freeway Series name.
