WATCH: Brewers look to sweep Rays and win 1st World Series title
ESPN MLB reporter Jorge Castillo joins ABC News to break down the Brewers' postseason run and the Rays' chances of a historic comeback.
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.
