The 2006 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 117th season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 49th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 44th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles California.
The Dodgers looked to improve their record from 2005. The team switched General Managers from Paul DePodesta to Ned Colletti, and hired Grady Little as the new manager. This was also their first season to be broadcast on KCAL-TV (9). The Dodgers won 88 games and the National League wild card. In the NLDS the Dodgers dropped three straight games to the New York Mets, ending their season. This was the last time the Dodgers were swept in the postseason until 2023.
