World Series Tickets 2026: Dates and Ballparks
The 2026 World Series starts Friday, October 23, at the ballpark of the National League champion, and a Game 7, if needed, would be Saturday, October 31. MLB's posted schedule puts Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 in the NL champion's park and Games 3, 4, and 5 in the AL champion's park. Every game airs on FOX.

As of the morning of October 15, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers led the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in the NLCS, and the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays were tied 1-1 in the ALCS. A potential NLCS Game 7 is October 19 and a potential ALCS Game 7 is October 20, so both pennants will be decided before Game 1.
If you are searching "World Series tickets 2026," start from the home team's page on TixBit and match the exact game number. Do not use a guessed price. Inventory and listing totals change. Never fees for buyers on TixBit.

Where will the 2026 World Series be played?
Four ballparks are still possible as of October 15:
| Team | Ballpark | Home games | Event page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee Brewers | American Family Field, Milwaukee | Games 1, 2, 6, 7 | Game 1 in Milwaukee |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles | Games 1, 2, 6, 7 | Game 1 in Los Angeles |

The Dodgers' ballpark has been called UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium since a naming partnership announced March 26, 2026, so listings may use either name. MLB: Dodger Stadium adds UNIQLO Field to name
For every listed game, use the team pages: Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Guardians, and Tampa Bay Rays. Earlier Dodgers playoff dates are in our Dodgers playoff ticket guide.

Buying before a pennant is clinched means buying a game that may not be played in that ballpark. A "Game 1 at Milwaukee" ticket is only used if the Brewers win the National League.
What does "if necessary" mean on World Series tickets?
Games 5, 6, and 7 are played only if the series is still undecided. On TixBit, potential home games are listed with "(If Necessary)" in the event name. If a series ends before an if-necessary game, that game is not played.
Read the refund terms for unplayed games before you buy. Under the TixBit Guarantee, if an event is canceled and not rescheduled, TixBit provides comparable replacement tickets or a refund of the order total to the original payment method, subject to applicable guarantees or law.
How do I buy World Series tickets?
- Match the exact game. Confirm the game number, date, and home ballpark. "Game 1" in Milwaukee and "Game 1" in Los Angeles are different events, and only one will be played.
- Skip watch parties and parking unless you want them. TixBit's catalog also lists World Series watch events, such as screenings at Cosm Los Angeles, and parking passes. Those are not game tickets.
- Read the seats shown. Check the section, row, quantity, and any view restriction. What you see is what you get. Real seats. Real sections. No phantom rows.
- Check delivery. Confirm how and when tickets arrive. The Rays, for example, said all of their 2026 postseason tickets are mobile-only in the MLB Ballpark app and that "paper tickets, screenshots and print-at-home tickets will not be available or accepted." Accept the transfer before you travel. MLB: Rays postseason tickets go on sale Wednesday (September 12, 2026)
- Compare the price shown before payment. On TixBit there are never fees for buyers. What you see is what you pay. That is not a claim that TixBit is always the lowest total. If you check another site, match the same section, row, quantity, and delivery, then compare final totals using our ticket resale fee comparison.
Browse all sports, events, performers, or venues if you are still choosing a game.
Our mobile ticket transfer guide explains how to accept transferred tickets, and the resale safety guide covers how to avoid fake postseason listings.
