The LA Dodgers will host their seventh annual LGBTQ Pride night next month at Dodger Stadium with LA Pride.

It will be the third time LA Pride and the Dodgers have teamed up for the event.

The Dodgers will play the Texas Rangers in the June 11 game.

In an effort to accommodate as many fans as possible for the popular event, all tickets available will be located in the fully-vaccinated only sections.

In the fully-vaccinated only sections, social distancing will not be required, and fans will be seated next to other parties.

These sections will be reserved for fully-vaccinated fans, people 16 and older who received their final vaccine dose at least two weeks ago and children between the ages of 2 and 15 who can show proof of having tested negative for COVID-19.

Children under the age of 2 do not need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test.

Face coverings must be worn in the fully vaccinated-only section, except while actively eating and-or drinking in the ticketed section.

  • For a PCR test, the date of the negative result must be within the prior 72 hours
  • For an antigen test, the date of the negative result must be within the prior 24 hours

The event will include drink specials in the pavilion bars, a special recognition of frontline workers from Los Angeles’ LGBTQ community, and additional surprise guests during pregame ceremonies.
