Polls for the 2026 World Series have officially opened up! Crown the champion for this year's World Series!

The deadline to pick between the Rays and the Brewers is this Friday at 8 PM ET. Good luck!

The media will absolutely hate this World Series but I think the fans won here. Love matchups where either way someone is getting their first championship.

Beautiful for baseball 🤘🏼

The two best and most-deserving teams reached the pinnacle. Someone's winning for the first time in their franchises' history. Best thing that can happen in any sport.

I love it in any sport. Once my team's out (or just doesn't make it in the first place) I tend to want to at least be witness to history.

Milwaukee vs Tampa Bay is a hysterical matchup for advertisers

They were talking about how the crowd at the Trop was the loudest it’s ever been and if that isn’t the lowest bar…

From the little I know about the Brewers… I think the beer advertisers will be quite happy lol

Flappy.

First time since 1980 a World Series guarantees a first time winner. Treasure these games, we’re probably not getting anything like this again soon considering only 4 will be left trophyless after this.

For those wondering the 4 remaining will be:

12. u/jklolxoxo · 2026-10-20 03:19 UTC

Which means our matchups can only be

Padres/Rockies/Brewers vs Mariners

Or

Padres/Rockies vs Rays

Don’t see any of those happening anytime soon…. I say as a Mariners fan lol.

The Padres vs Rays one is the only one I see happening in the next few years

14. u/PrimarySource_ · 2026-10-20 03:25 UTC

I'm surprised the Mariners never won a WS.

15. u/drethnudrib · 2026-10-20 03:16 UTC

Half of those are in one division, but I probably don't need to remind you of that.

16. u/CubesFan · 2026-10-20 03:17 UTC

Devil Rays. They went back to the old unis and won. Never should have bowed to insane religious fanatics.

17. u/TDeez_Nuts · 2026-10-20 03:20 UTC

They made it to the world series the first year they dropped the "devil", so that's not it.

18. u/HonestAvian18 · 2026-10-20 03:18 UTC

Somebody will be a first time champion. Excited for whichever way it goes.

19. u/Poppins_the_Dog4 · 2026-10-20 03:40 UTC

This is gonna be a fun World Series!

20. u/JpJonesyII · 2026-10-20 03:47 UTC

Yupp! So excited, it’s my favorite time of the year. Get to see how the new nba teams look. Almost mid season for football. And playoff baseball.
