Bucks Make Home Opener Adjustment for Brewers World Series Run
The Brewers just secured a spot to the World Series for the first time in 44 years, and the city of Milwaukee wants to celebrate.
Milwaukee is buzzing with excitement following the Milwaukee Brewers' sweeping victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, advancing them to their first World Series since 1982. The NBA season commences next week, with the Milwaukee Bucks set to begin their 2026-27 campaign. Originally scheduled for Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m. CT against the Chicago Bulls, the Bucks' home opener faced a potential clash with Game 1 of the World Series, which is also set to take place in Milwaukee at American Family Field on the same day.
To avoid this scheduling conflict, the Bucks announced on Friday that they would be moving their home opener start time to 3 p.m. CT, allowing fans to cheer on both teams. "The Brewers' return to the World Series for the first time in 44 years is a special moment for Milwaukee and sports fans across Wisconsin," stated the Bucks.
"We congratulate the Brewers and the entire organization on this tremendous achievement and will be cheering them on as they begin their World Series run." The Milwaukee Bucks expressed gratitude to the NBA for accommodating this schedule change. The Brewers are yet to determine their opponent in the 2026 World Series, with Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays being the potential AL contenders.
