Los Angeles Fleet Week | LA Fleet Week | Memorial Day Event

Dodgeball Tournament presented by FOX Sports
2026-05-24 10:30 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Main Expo Footprint at the Battleship IOWA, 250 S. Harbor Blvd., San Pedro, CA, 95236, United States
Are you ready for some DODGEBALL? Our double elimination tournament rolls out Sunday, May 25th from 10:30 AM 1:00 PM.
In 2022 the Marines earned the inaugural title for this fan-favorite event with their team, “Average Marines,” but since then it’s been all Army. Can the defending back-to-back-to-back champs make it a FOUR-peat or will it go to Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, first responders, or the underdog home team from Battleship IOWA?
Come by the court in front of the main EXPO stage and cheer on your favorites in this head-to-head quest for the LA Fleet Week championship.
