NE-YO to Perform National Anthem at Game 4 of 2026 World Series in Tampa Bay
The Milwaukee Brewers will look to complete the sweep to capture the franchise's first championship.
NE-YO, the R&B sensation known for hits like "So Sick," will sing the national anthem before the Milwaukee Brewers' Game 4 in the 2026 World Series on October 27 in Tampa Bay. This follows the tradition of fellow performers Mickey Guyton, Kylie Cantrall, and Carly Pearce. The 47-year-old artist, who has sung the anthem at major sporting events before, spoke to MLB Network about his dedication to the task at hand.
"You go over the words like a madman," he said, emphasizing his commitment to memorizing the lyrics and avoiding any forgetfulness on stage. Game 4 is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on FOX, with former Rays third baseman Evan Longoria set to toss the ceremonial first pitch. If the Brewers secure a win, they will face off against the Tampa Bay Rays for the first time in the World Series' history.
