The Diamondbacks–Dodgers rivalry is a Major League Baseball (MLB) National League divisional rivalry played between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chase Field and Dodger Stadium are only 375 miles apart, mostly along I-10. The Diamondbacks are newcomers to the division; having founded in 1998, winning their first World Series in 2001. The Dodgers had been one of the oldest teams in the National League, having won eight World Series titles. Both teams saw a rise in competition during the 2010s as they would both regularly qualify for the postseason, notably; regular season meetings between the two would often escalate into aggressive matchups occasionally escalating into fights between both benches.{{cite web|url=https://www.bettingnews.com/rivalry/los-angeles-dodgers-vs-arizona-diamondbacks/|title=Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks}} Notably; both teams took part in the most recent MLB Australia Series in 2014.{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/brawls-batters-hit-and-pools-peed-in-dodgersdiamondbacks-rivalry-has-it-all-20140319-hvkhi.html|title=Brawls, batters hit and pools peed in: Dodgers-Diamondbacks rivalry has it all|date=March 19, 2014}}
The Dodgers lead the regular season series, 270–202. The two teams have met twice in the postseason, with the Dodgers winning the 2017 National League Division Series 3–0, and the Diamondbacks winning the 2023 National League Division Series 3–0.
Background
The rivalry was often dormant for the Diamondbacks' earlier years in the league following their inception in 1998 (the two teams did have a close divisional race in 2008, before the D'Backs fell apart in September), however things quickly began to heat up between both sides during the 2010s as the Dodgers saw a change in management in 2011 after controversial owner Frank McCourt had sold the team.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-xpm-2013-jun-12-la-sp-dn-dodgers-diamondbacks-rivalry-20130612-story.html|title=Look at the Makings of a Dodgers-Diamondbacks Rivalry|website=Los Angeles Times |date=June 12, 2013 }} Eventually the Dodgers found their return to the postseason as their strength in competition found new life under different management.{{cite web|url=https://sports360az.com/2013/07/derrick-hall-says-diamondbacks-dodgers-heated-rivalry-getting-even-hotter/|title=Derrick Hall says Diamondbacks-Dodgers "heated" rivalry getting even hotter|date=July 11, 2013 }} The first notable moment of animosity between the two teams took place in September 2011 when both teams began hitting one another with inside pitches, including a notable moment where Clayton Kershaw was ejected on September 13 for throwing a fastball at Arizona outfielder Gerardo Parra's shoulder. The two would continue engaging in aggressive confrontations as the 2012 season would see more retaliatory acts on both sides.{{cite web|url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/the-los-angeles-dodgers-and-arizona-diamondbacks-renew-their-rivalry.html|title=LA Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks News: Teams Renew Rivalry|date=March 25, 2015 }} During the 2013 season as both teams were engaged in a heated battle for second place of the division; the two sides engaged in a large scuffle on June 13, after Diamondbacks' pitcher Ian Kennedy drilled Dodgers' outfielder Yasiel Puig in the face with a pitch. Dodgers' then-pitcher Zack Greinke retaliated by hitting Arizona catcher Miguel Montero while at bat; resulting in both benches clearing in a massive brawl after Kennedy threw a pitch at Greinke the next inning.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv2N0kK6zbw&t=59s|title=Wild brawl erupts between Dodgers, D-backs|website=YouTube }} Kennedy was suspended 10 games for the hit, however; Puig and Greinke received a fine for their part.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9387158/los-angeles-dodgers-arizona-diamondbacks-brawl-fallout-8-suspended-mlb|title=Dodgers-Diamondbacks Brawl fallout|date=June 14, 2013 }}
On September 19, 2013 following a win in Arizona, The Dodgers managed a victory after having clinched the division and eliminating the Diamondbacks. Much to the anger of the Diamondbacks and fans alike; numerous Dodgers' players jumped into the outfield pool at Chase Field. Allegedly; stadium management had warned Dodger personnel against celebrating the win onfield due to the tensions between the two teams.{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1781487-diamondbacks-unhappy-with-dodgers-pool-celebration-after-clinching-nl-west|title=Diamondbacks Unhappy with Dodgers' Pool Celebration After Clinching NL West|website=Bleacher Report }} Diamondbacks' then-CEO Derrick Hall expressed anger at the gesture by the Dodgers, proclaiming: "I could call it disrespectful and classless, but they don't have a beautiful pool at their old park and must have really wanted to see what one was like".{{cite web|url=https://tbonesbaseball.com/the-bad-blood-between-the-dodgers-and-diamondbacks/|title=The Bad Blood Between The Dodgers And Diamondbacks|access-date=April 9, 2023|archive-date=April 9, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230409024549/https://tbonesbaseball.com/the-bad-blood-between-the-dodgers-and-diamondbacks/|url-status=dead}}
Since Arizona did not have an MLB franchise prior to 1998, many residents have supported the Dodgers before the Diamondbacks debuted. Due to the Dodgers' extensive fanbase in the southwestern United States, games between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks at the latter team's home stadium Chase Field often have a split crowd in attendance.{{Cite web |date=2021-06-20 |title=Dodgers: Passionate LA fans made Chase Field look like Dodger Stadium |url=https://dodgersway.com/2021/06/20/dodgers-fans-chase-field-dodger-stadium/ |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=Dodgers Way |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Your take: Is the Arizona Diamondbacks' Chase Field an 'absolute dump'? |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2023/03/28/mlb-stadium-rankings-reaction-arizona-diamondbacks-chase-field-dump/70057490007/ |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=The Arizona Republic |language=en-US}}

On December 8, 2015; Zack Greinke signed a six-year, $206.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks. By 2017; both teams had managed to secure playoff berths as the Diamondbacks finished with 93 wins while the Dodgers finished with 104, leading the division and the league. After winning the Wild Card Game; the Diamondbacks were set to face the Dodgers in the NL Division Series.{{cite web|url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/heat-index/2017/10/06/arizona-diamondbacks-rivalry-los-angeles-dodgers-nlds-mlb-playoffs-z/740035001/|title=Beat LA: Arizona Diamondbacks' rivalry with Los Angeles Dodgers set for next chapter}} Despite Arizona's best efforts; they were no match for the Dodgers' copious batting core as they fell in a 3 game sweep.{{cite web|url=https://tbonesbaseball.com/dodgers-diamondbacks-rivalry-to-continue-in-2019/|title=Dodgers-Diamondbacks Rivalry to Continue into 2019|access-date=April 9, 2023|archive-date=April 9, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230409020053/https://tbonesbaseball.com/dodgers-diamondbacks-rivalry-to-continue-in-2019/|url-status=dead}} The Dodgers would go on to reach the 2017 World Series, where they lost to the Houston Astros in a controversial seven-game series.

The second half of the 2023 season saw the Dodgers win the NL West and the Diamondbacks finish second, securing the final Wild Card spot in the league. Following a 2-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Wild Card Series, the Diamondbacks were set to once again face the Dodgers in the NL Division Series.{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/d-backs-clinch-2023-mlb-playoff-spot|title=D-backs seal 1st trip to postseason since 2017|website=MLB.com }}{{cite web|url=https://kjzz.org/content/1858988/arizona-diamondbacks-clinch-first-playoff-spot-2017|title=Arizona Diamondbacks clinch first playoff spot since 2017|access-date=October 5, 2023|archive-date=October 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231005194751/https://kjzz.org/content/1858988/arizona-diamondbacks-clinch-first-playoff-spot-2017|url-status=dead}} Game 1 saw an aggressive showing from the Diamondbacks against Clayton Kershaw as they scored 11 runs within the first four innings, running away with the victory. The Diamondbacks would eventually earn a sweep with their 4-2 victories in Games 2 and 3. Notably, Arizona clinched the series at Chase Field, marking their first postseason series win at home since their World Series walkoff victory over the New York Yankees in 2001. Game 3 was also notable for the third inning where Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno each hit a home run in the bottom of the third inning, making it the first time ever in playoff history where a team hit four home runs in one inning.{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/12/sport/arizona-diamondbacks-la-dodgers-postseason-sweep-spt-intl/index.html|title=Arizona Diamondbacks stun LA Dodgers with historic inning to complete postseason sweep|date=October 12, 2023 |publisher=CNN.com}} The Diamondbacks later reached the 2023 World Series, losing to the Texas Rangers in five games.
As of May 11, 2025, the Dodgers lead the regular season series 268–201, but are tied with a 3-3 record in postseason meetings (and by extension, are tied 1–1 in postseason series matchups).
