The Bucks announced Friday they are shifting their home opener against the Bulls on Oct. 23 from a 7 p.m. Central tip-off to 3 p.m., clearing the evening for Game 1 of the World Series at American Family Field.\n\nThe scheduling scramble comes after the Brewers completed a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series on Thursday, Oct. 15, sending Milwaukee to its first World Series since 1982. That is a 44-year gap for a franchise that has been waiting a long time to host a Fall Classic again.\n\nThe Bucks acknowledged the moment in a statement, calling the Brewers' return to the World Series \"a special moment for Milwaukee and sports fans across Wisconsin\" and congratulating the organization on the achievement. Rather than compete for attention and parking downtown, the Bucks opted to get their opener in earlier in the day so fans and the city itself are free to lock in on the Brewers once the sun goes down.","published_at":"2026-10-16T23:48:26.301536+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Milwaukee Bucks change time of home opener with Brewers hosting World Series Game 1 on same night","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/milwaukee-bucks-change-time-home-opener-brewers-world-series/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bucks change schedule immediately after Brewers make World Series","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bucks-change-schedule-immediately-brewers-163156202.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Bucks move start time for home opener, avoid World Series conflict","url":"https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/50196749/bucks-adjust-home-opener-avoid-world-series-conflict"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Milwaukee Bucks change time of home opener to avoid World Series conflict","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/milwaukee-bucks-change-time-home-154952355.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bucks announce schedule change for home opener after Brewers reach World Series","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bucks-announce-schedule-change-home-182520273.html"},{"outlet":"MLB.com","publisher":"MLB.com","title":"Milwaukee backs Brewers as NBA's Bucks shift time of home opener for World Series","url":"https://www.mlb.com/news/milwaukee-bucks-change-time-of-home-opener-brewers-world-series"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bucks make way for Brewers’ World Series return with schedule change","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bucks-way-brewers-world-series-185114510.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Milwaukee Bucks move home opener tip-off time for World Series","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/milwaukee-bucks-move-home-opener-213437721.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bucks Announce Major News for Home Opener","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bucks-announce-major-news-home-005251669.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
