Rays and Brewers to Meet in 2026 World Series

publishers 23articles 28first reported 20 Oct, 03:45 UTCdeveloping since 20 Oct · 11 editions

The Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers will meet in the 122nd World Series, with the best-of-seven championship scheduled to begin Friday. Both relatively low-spending clubs are seeking their first Major League Baseball title.

The Japan Times described the matchup as a challenge to claims that only big-spending teams can win the World Series. It comes ahead of the Dec. 1 expiration of MLB’s collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union, with a potential lockout expected amid disagreement over owners’ interest in a salary cap and players’ opposition to considering one.
