The 2026 World Series transitions from Milwaukee to the Sunshine State for Game 3, scheduled for Monday, October 26, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Following an off day after the initial two games in Wisconsin, fans can tune in at 8:00 PM ET to witness the continuation of this high-stakes matchup. This shift marks a significant moment for the Tampa Bay Rays, who will host their first World Series game at home since 2008, as their previous 2020 appearance took place within the COVID-19 bubble.
