Dodgers-Yankees game Saturday July 18, 2026, postponed due to weather
NEW YORK – A marquee matchup between two of baseball’s most recognizable franchises had to wait for another day. Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and Yankees was rescheduled due to a forecast of sustained inclement weather at Yankee Stadium.
The clubs will make up the game as the opener of a split-admission doubleheader on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 12:35 p.m. ET.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said there is a “good chance” that he will stick with the pitching matchup as initially announced, which would have Ryan Weathers slated to start the opener and Cam Schlittler in the nightcap.
The Dodgers have not confirmed their pitching plans. Emmet Sheehan had been scheduled to pitch Saturday, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto lined up to go Sunday.
Fans with paid tickets for Saturday’s game may use them for the rescheduled 12:35 p.m. ET game on Sunday, or exchange them for tickets to a similar regular-season game at Yankee Stadium (subject to availability) as described in the Yankees’ rain check policy, which can be found at www.yankees.com/raincheck.
Tickets dated Saturday, July 18, will be valid only for Game 1 on Sunday and will not be valid for Game 2, which is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET.
Yankee Stadium gates will open at 11 a.m. ET for Game 1 and at approximately 6 p.m. ET for Game 2.
Game 1 of Sunday’s split-admission doubleheader vs. the Dodgers will be broadcast by the YES Network. Game 2 will be broadcast by NBC/Peacock.
