Brewers at Rays, World Series Game 4: First Pitch, Venue and Where to Watch
Quick answer: The Milwaukee Brewers are scheduled to visit the Tampa Bay Rays for World Series Game 4 on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. MLB lists first pitch for 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00) at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. That converts to 12:00 a.m. UTC on Wednesday, October 28. The listed national broadcasts are FOX, FOX One and FOX Deportes. MLB’s Game 4 probable-pitcher listing still shows both starters as TBD.

Game 4 lineup
Not posted on the MLB pages checked
MLB’s 2026 postseason schedule identifies Milwaukee as the visiting team and Tampa Bay as the home team for Game 4 at Tropicana Field. The official probable-pitcher page also lists the matchup, venue, 8:00 p.m. EDT start and World Series Game 4 designation.
What time is first pitch in other time zones?
The venue is in St. Petersburg, Florida, so the local clock is Eastern Daylight Time on October 27: 8:00 p.m. EDT, or UTC−04:00. Milwaukee is observing Central Daylight Time on that date, making the same first pitch 7:00 p.m. CDT (UTC−05:00). For viewers following in UTC, the date has already rolled over: first pitch is Wednesday, October 28, at 00:00 UTC.
This conversion uses the time zone in effect on the game date, not the time zone in effect when this article was prepared. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology says daylight saving time in 2026 runs through November 1, so Florida and Wisconsin are still on daylight time for this October 27 game. See NIST’s 2026 daylight-saving dates if you need to check the seasonal change. MLB’s schedule labels its game times Eastern Time; the city and UTC offset are included here to make the date conversion clear.
What is the series situation before Game 4?
Milwaukee won the first two games, 3-2 on October 23 and 5-4 on October 24. The official MLB pages available for this update did not yet display a final result for Game 3: MLB’s October 26 scoreboard still showed that game in “Warmup,” with no innings or score posted, while the October 27 Game 4 scoreboard continued to show Milwaukee ahead 2-0. Because the live scoreboard snapshot may not have refreshed, check MLB’s postseason bracket before publishing a definitive series score for Game 4.
Game 3’s final changes the immediate stakes. If Milwaukee won it, the Brewers would arrive with a 3-0 lead and a chance to move within one win of the championship; if Tampa Bay won, the Rays would have cut the deficit to 2-1. The schedule confirms that Game 4 is set for October 27 in St. Petersburg, but an earlier series standing should not be treated as the final Game 3 result.
Where can fans watch Brewers at Rays?
MLB lists FOX, FOX One and FOX Deportes for the U.S. national telecast. The schedule says FOX-televised World Series games are available through MLB.TV for subscribers who authenticate as subscribers to the applicable network through a participating pay-TV provider. An MLB.TV subscription alone does not guarantee access to the FOX telecast. Check the current FOX or provider listing before game time.
MLB also says ESPN Radio will carry national audio coverage of every 2026 World Series game and that Spanish-language radio broadcasts will be available on Univision’s TUDN Radio. These are the U.S. listings. Fans watching from another country should confirm the local rights holder and streaming availability for their location rather than assume the U.S. services are available there.
Are tickets still available?
The official MLB Gameday preview includes a ticket link for this scheduled event. That link is the right place to check current inventory, prices and purchase terms. The MLB schedule confirms that the game is at Tropicana Field; it does not confirm that seats remain available, so ticket availability should be checked directly before making plans.
Are the Game 4 pitchers and lineups confirmed?
No Game 4 starting pitchers were named on MLB’s probable-pitcher page when it was checked on October 27; both spots appeared as “TBD.” The lineup page also had not posted a Game 4 batting order. Do not carry over the Game 3 starters or projected lineup as if they were confirmed for this game. MLB’s Game 3 preview was published before that game and is useful historical context, not a Game 4 lineup announcement.
For injury context, that same pre-Game 3 MLB report said Rays starter Shane McClanahan had been ruled out for the postseason. The report’s other player-availability notes were also tied to the earlier games, so they should not be read as a current Game 4 status report. No newer Game 4-specific injury or roster update was present in the official pages checked for this revision. Recheck MLB’s probable-pitcher and Gameday pages, plus the clubs’ official updates, for confirmed starters, lineups and late roster news.

MLB’s confirmed reference points are the Game 4 designation, the Brewers-at-Rays order, the October 27 St. Petersburg date, the 8:00 p.m. EDT first pitch, Tropicana Field and the FOX-family telecast. The latest accessible MLB score pages did not provide a Game 3 final, and the Game 4 starters and lineup were still unannounced. The official schedule and Gameday links above are the best places to refresh those details before the first pitch.
