Dodgers Opening Day Game 2019
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown at 1:00 p.m. PT by a surprise guest, and the game is expected to start immediately after at 1:10 p.m. PT.
The stadium gates will open to fans at 10:00 a.m. PT and pregame entertainment will begin at the same time. If you’re heading to the ballpark, you’ll want to find your seats by 12:30 p.m. PT for the Opening Day pregame ceremony.
The ceremony will celebrate the life and legacy of former Rookie of the Year, four-time All-Star, and 1956 National League Cy Young and MVP Award winner Don “Newk” Newcombe, who passed away at the age of 92 on February 19. The players and coaches will all wear a No. 36 memorial patch in Newcombe’s honor. All proceeds of the team’s 50-50 raffle will be donated to help support the baseball programs at Morningside, Inglewood, Dominguez, and Centennial High Schools.
The ceremony will be followed by the national anthem at 12:57 p.m. PT, which will be performed by Chief Warrant Office 2 (CW2) Jeff Smith, a commander and conductor of the 300th Army Band in Los Angeles.
During the anthem, the U.S. Army’s Golden Knights Parachute Team will parachute into the stadium for a must-see moment, as a giant American flag is unfurled in center field. Additionally, there will be a flyover by the 452nd Air Mobility Wing from March Air Reserve Base and the end of the anthem.
The game will air nationally on ESPN, and locally on Spectrum SportsNet LA. If you do not have Spectrum SportsNetLA, and the game is blacked out in your area, you can live stream the game here.
