A new World Series champion is about to be crowned in 2026, and the Milwaukee Brewers are leading the charge after absolutely sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Those Dodgers won back-to-back World Series titles, but they are done, out of here, thanks to Milwaukee.
Brewers Are Rolling, Ready for History
So, the Brewers are in the Fall Classic! Can you believe it? This team hasn’t been to the World Series since way back in 1982, when they lost Game 7 to the St. Louis Cardinals. They are one of only five teams in MLB that have never actually won a World Series, and now they’ve got their shot. Milwaukee was straight up the best team in baseball all year, which means they get that crucial home field advantage. They earned it, no doubt.
AL Showdown: Guardians or Rays for the Title Shot
Now, the Brewers are just sitting back, waiting to see who emerges from the American League. It’s down to the Cleveland Guardians or the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Guardians are up 2-1 in that ALCS after winning Game 3 on October 15. Cleveland hasn’t even played in the World Series since 2016, and their last title? Try 1948. That’s not a typo, folks. That’s the longest active title drought in the game right now. The Rays, on the other hand, have made it twice, in 2008 and 2020, but they’ve never actually hoisted that trophy. Someone’s drought is definitely getting tested here.
Get ready, because Game 1 of the 2026 World Series kicks off on Friday, October 23, at 8:00 p.m. ET, hosted by Milwaukee. Game 2 is Saturday, October 24, also in Milwaukee, with the series shifting to the AL champion’s park for Games 3, 4, and potentially 5. Who’s gonna make it out of the AL to face the Brewers? And more importantly, which team is finally going to break their championship curse? This is gonna be epic.
