No matter how it turns out, the 2026 World Series will crown a champion for a city that has waited decades for the honor.
With the Dodgers dethroned, this season will produce either a first-time Fall Classic winner for Milwaukee or Tampa Bay, or the first in the lifetime of most Cleveland fans.
The NL champion Brewers are making their first World Series appearance since 1982, when they lost to the Cardinals in seven games, and are seeking their first title. On the AL side, Tampa Bay is winless in two previous World Series appearances and Cleveland won its most recent championship in 1948.
While those teams won't be as familiar to casual fans, October is when stars are made, and the likes of Jake Bauers, Victor Mesa Jr. and Patrick Bailey are ready for a wider audience.
Whatever happens, history will be made. Here's when and where to watch every game.
