It’s down to the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 MLB World Series, kicking off Friday, Oct. 23, on FOX (and FOX Deportes).
They might be small-market franchises, but both teams will be exceptionally hungry for their first-ever championship. The Brewers won the National League with an MLB-topping 103-59 regular-season record. They’ve maintained dominance in the postseason, losing just a single game on the road to the World Series. That included a sweep of the back-to-back reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
