Brewers’ World Series games set for 7 p.m. starts, beginning October 23
Milwaukee will host the first two games at American Family Field. Every game on the newly released schedule has a 7 p.m. start, including those needed only if the series continues.
The Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m., beginning with Game 1 on Friday, October 23, 2026, at American Family Field in Milwaukee. The newly released schedule gives fans the same start time for every possible game and confirms that Milwaukee will also host Game 2. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the Brewers’ opponent had yet to be determined.
Brewers’ World Series dates and start times
The Journal Sentinel listed the following schedule. Each game is set for 7 p.m.; the report did not specify a time zone for those starts. Games 5 through 7 will be played only if needed.
- Game 1: Friday, October 23, at American Family Field.
- Game 2: Saturday, October 24, at American Family Field.
- Game 3: Monday, October 26.
- Game 4: Tuesday, October 27.
- Game 5, if needed: Wednesday, October 28.
- Game 6, if needed: Friday, October 30, at American Family Field.
- Game 7, if needed: Saturday, October 31, at American Family Field.
The listed schedule names American Family Field for the opening two games and for Games 6 and 7 if the series reaches them. It does not name a venue for Games 3 through 5. Milwaukee therefore has confirmed home dates on October 23 and 24, with two more possible home dates at the end of the series.
Milwaukee’s first World Series trip since 1982
The schedule follows the Brewers’ Thursday night victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, which sent Milwaukee to its first World Series in 44 years, ESPN reported. The Brewers last reached the series in 1982, when they played in the American League. ESPN said the October 23 opener will be the first World Series game held at American Family Field.
Former Brewers star Ryan Braun joined the celebration after the clinching game at Dodger Stadium. ‘Forty-four years of hope, 44 years of heartbreak, 44 years of believing that we would have our moment, and that moment has arrived,’ ESPN quoted him as saying. Christian Yelich, part of the team headed to the series, told ESPN that the players understand how their performance affects people across Wisconsin and do not take that support for granted.
The Brewers secured their place in the series by sweeping the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. Their clinching win was covered in NewsJaws’ report on the Brewers’ first World Series berth since 1982; the new schedule now gives supporters dates and start times for that return.
