The 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 132nd season for the franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 64th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 59th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers started the season 13–2, matching the best regular season start by a defending world champion. On September 14, the Dodgers clinched a spot in the postseason for the ninth consecutive season extending the longest streak in franchise history,[1] but they failed to clinch the National League West for the first time since 2012, finishing one game behind the San Francisco Giants. Los Angeles had the most ever wins (106) of any MLB team that failed to win its division or league, surpassing the 104 wins of the 1909 Chicago Cubs and 1942 Brooklyn Dodgers.[2] They beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLWC Game and the San Francisco Giants in five games in the NLDS before losing to the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the NLCS in six games. It was the fifth NLCS appearance for the Dodgers in the last six seasons.
