Following the Philadelphia Phillies' Wild Card elimination, the 2026 World Series features a matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, with both franchises pursuing their first title. Milwaukee reached the Fall Classic after posting a baseball-best 103 regular-season wins and sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
