Bucks move home opener earlier to accommodate Brewers World Series

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 18:02 · Archive

The Milwaukee Bucks have moved their regular season home opener on 23 October from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. to accommodate Game 1 of the World Series, which the Milwaukee Brewers are hosting that evening. The Bucks worked with the NBA office to make the schedule change possible.

The Brewers clinched their first World Series berth since 1982 on Thursday by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. They earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs by having the best regular-season record in Major League Baseball. Game 1 will be against either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays.

The Bucks organisation stated that the Brewers' World Series return 'is a special moment for Milwaukee and sports fans across Wisconsin'. The Bucks said they were 'proud to move our home opener to 3 p.m. in recognition of this historic occasion'. The Bucks also face a potential scheduling conflict on 31 October, when they are scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers on the same evening Game 7 would take place in Milwaukee if the World Series goes to the full seven games.
