The Dodgers began spring training on February 10, 2024, when pitchers and catchers reported to Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona with the first full squad workout on February 15 and the first Cactus League game on February 20. During this time, they also re-signed manager Dave Roberts to a new four-year contract extension for $8 million per year, a new record for average annual value for a Major League manager. The deal would keep him under contract through the 2029 season.
On March 11, the Dodgers optioned infielder Hyeseong Kim to the minors after his bat was unable to adjust to major league pitching in spring training and also revealed that Dustin May had won the fifth starter job to open the season.
The Dodgers ended their Cactus League schedule on March 11 before flying to Japan to play two exhibition games (against the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball) prior to beginning the season with the MLB Tokyo Series. Afterwards, they will play the Los Angeles Angels in three Freeway Series exhibitions before resuming the regular season on March 27.

### March

The Dodgers opened their season on March 18 against the Chicago Cubs at the Tokyo Dome in Japan as part of the MLB Tokyo Series, the second straight year they had started overseas after playing in Seoul, South Korea to start the 2024 season. Yoshinobu Yamamoto made the start in his home country, facing Shota Imanaga, the first opening day matchup between two Japanese pitchers in MLB history. Yamamoto allowed only one run on three hits in five innings. Shohei Ohtani had two hits, including a double, and scored two runs as the Dodgers started the season with a 4–1 victory.
