The Tampa Bay Rays are set to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 World Series, with both clubs seeking their first championship title.
The series begins in Milwaukee, with Games 1 and 2 scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. The matchup shifts to Tropicana Field for Games 3 and 4 on Monday, Oct. 26, and Tuesday, Oct. 27. Game 5 is set for Wednesday, Oct. 28, if needed, while Games 6 and 7 would return to Milwaukee on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31.
For the road games, Tropicana Field plans to show Games 1 and 2 on its big screen, as well as Games 6 and 7 if the series extends that far. General admission is $10 and parking is $5. Fans can also buy a $35 buffet ticket or a $60 all-inclusive ticket that includes beer, wine and soft drinks. Parking must be purchased in advance, according to the Rays.
Tropicana Field will host the World Series itself for Games 3 and 4, plus Game 5 if necessary.
