Background
The Angels played their home games at Dodger Stadium from 1962 to 1965 before moving to Anaheim. Interest grew after the Angels put 'Los Angeles' back in their name in 2005, and again when Shohei Ohtani left the Angels for the Dodgers; the clubs first met in the regular season after his signing on June 21, 2024 at Dodger Stadium. The teams also play exhibition games before the season.
