MILWAUKEE — Major League Baseball released the schedule for the 2026 National League Championship Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers, a rematch for a second straight season.
The best-of-seven series begins at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, with Game 1 at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Game 2, also in Milwaukee, will be at 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12.

Both clubs finished off their division series in four games on Oct. 7. The top-seeded Brewers and second-seeded Dodgers advanced after Milwaukee beat San Diego and Los Angeles eliminated Atlanta. It is their third NLCS meeting since 2018, and Los Angeles has won all three prior postseason series between the clubs, including the 2025 NLCS.

Game 1 (at MIL): Sunday, Oct. 11 opens the series, with Game 2 (at MIL): Monday, Oct. 12 following in Milwaukee.
