Dodgers-Brewers Schedule: Four Games, Two Bobbleheads
The series runs from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. Friday and Saturday add two small, wonderfully wobbly reasons to reach the gates early.
Two tiny ballplayers are due at the stadium gates on back-to-back days. First comes a Clayton Kershaw bobblehead on Friday, August 14. A Reggie Smith "Legends of Dodger Baseball" figure follows Saturday. Between those cheerful shelf residents, the actual Dodgers and Brewers have four games to play from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon.

The games get earlier as the weekend ripens
The Dodgers' schedule, CBS Sports and StatMuse agree on the four current start times. Thursday and Friday begin at 7:10 p.m. Pacific. Saturday moves to 4:15, and Sunday lands at 1:10. For Eastern viewers, add three hours.
That descent is nearly three hours per day once the weekend arrives. Friday's first pitch is after dinner. Saturday's belongs to late afternoon. Sunday's can share the day with lunch. A four-game set can feel bulky on a calendar; this one has a pleasant rhythm, like the ballpark is gradually turning up the house lights.
Thursday's event needs the right ticket
The club lists Korean Heritage Night for Thursday, August 13. It appears under Special Event Ticket Packages, not stadium-wide giveaways. The Dodgers state that those package items require the corresponding special-event ticket, so an ordinary ticket should not be assumed to include the themed item. That small distinction is worth checking before anyone promises a souvenir to a child, a friend or the most demanding collector in the family.
Friday and Saturday wobble on purpose
Friday's Clayton Kershaw bobblehead and Saturday's Reggie Smith bobblehead are listed as stadium-wide giveaways. The official July 20 announcement identifies the two dates as part of Alumni Weekend and says promotional items generally go to the first 40,000 ticketed fans, while supplies last, unless the promotions page notes otherwise. The live page also limits giveaways to one item per person with a valid ticket at entry.
So the practical advice is refreshingly plain: arrive early if the little figure matters. Friday honors Kershaw with his first bobblehead since retiring after the 2025 season, according to the club announcement. Saturday's figure places Smith in the "Legends of Dodger Baseball" series. One remembers a recently closed career; the other reaches farther back. The pairing gives the weekend a sweet before-and-after quality without asking the baseball to stop for a history lecture.
One series, four different moods
Thursday offers a themed night. Friday brings the classic 7:10 glow and a tiny Kershaw. Saturday starts under the long late-afternoon light with Smith waiting at the gates. Sunday strips the plan down to a 1:10 matinee. The opponent stays the same, but the feeling changes every day. That is a tidy piece of schedule-making, and a lovely excuse to decide which version of the ballpark sounds most like yours.
