The Milwaukee Bucks have adjusted their home opener against the Chicago Bulls to accommodate the Milwaukee Brewers, who are hosting Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, October 23. Originally set for 7 p.m., the Bucks' game will now tip off at 3 p.m. local time.

Major League Baseball has yet to announce the official start time for the World Series, but it is expected to begin around 7 p.m. CT. This scheduling change sets the stage for a unique sports doubleheader in Milwaukee.

In a statement, the Bucks expressed their support:

"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. Congratulations to the Brewers and the entire organization on this tremendous achievement. The Bucks are proud to move our home opener to 3 p.m. in recognition of this historic occasion."

The Brewers, boasting a franchise-record 103 wins this season, reached the World Series for the first time since 1982 by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers, who had aimed for a three-peat, had dominated the previous two World Series.

The Brewers will face either the Tampa Bay Rays or Cleveland Guardians, who currently lead their series 2-1. If the World Series extends to a Game 7 on October 31, another potential conflict arises, as the Bucks are scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers that night.
