What happened
Milwaukee shifted its Oct. 23 home opener against Chicago from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. local time so the game can coexist with World Series Game 1, which the Brewers will host that night.
MLB has not formally announced a World Series start time yet, though the report says Game 1 is likely to begin around 7 p.m. CT, and the Bucks called the change a recognition of the moment for Milwaukee.
The earlier tipoff changes the Bucks’ opening-night schedule and leaves open whether another Milwaukee conflict could surface if the World Series reaches Game 7. That later overlap is possible because the Bucks host Cleveland on Oct. 31.
