The Bucks announced Friday their home opener would take place at
3 p.m. Central time rather than 7 p.m. Bucks officials said they
worked with the NBA office to make the schedule change possible.
The Milwaukee Brewers will be hosting either the Cleveland
Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series that
night. The Brewers had earned home-field advantage throughout
the playoffs by having the best regular-season record in the
major leagues, and they clinched their first World Series berth
since 1982 on Thursday by completing an NL Championship Series
sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“The Brewers’ return to the World Series for the first time in
44 years is a special moment for Milwaukee and sports fans
across Wisconsin,” the Bucks said in a statement.
“Congratulations to the Brewers and the entire organization on
this tremendous achievement, and we’ll be cheering them on as
they begin their World Series run. The Bucks are proud to move
our home opener to 3 p.m. in recognition of this historic
occasion and thank the NBA for making this schedule change
possible.”
The Bucks are opening their season Wednesday at Washington.
The Bucks also have another potential World Series scheduling
issue. They’re scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers the
night of Oct. 31, which is when Game 7 would take place in
Milwaukee if the World Series goes the distance.
