World Series Score: Latest Result and How to Check Updates

If you search for the World Series score, the first thing to confirm is whether you want the most recent completed result or the score of a game in progress. As of Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 1:07 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00), the latest completed game is Game 1: the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 3–2. Milwaukee leads the best-of-seven series 1–0. MLB lists Game 2 for later Saturday, so the Game 1 result is still the latest final score at this check.

Latest World Series score and next game

MLB’s official postseason schedule records the Game 1 result and lists Game 2 at 8 p.m. ET on October 24. The Game 1 Gameday page provides the final box score and wrap, while MLB’s Game 2 page is the direct place to follow the next matchup.

Check the live score on MLB.com

1. Open the official MLB scoreboard. Find the World Series card and check the date and matchup before reading the numbers.
2. Select the Rays–Brewers game you want. Game 1 and Game 2 are separate entries, even though they involve the same teams and stadium.
3. Open Gameday for the live game. MLB describes Gameday as providing live box scores, pitch-by-pitch data, highlights, and a play-by-play feed. Use the status shown on the page—scheduled, live, or final—to tell whether the displayed information is current action or a completed result.
4. For a close game, compare the score with the inning and play feed. The box score shows each team’s runs and player lines; the play-by-play explains when runs scored and what happened on the latest play.
5. After the game is marked final, use its Gameday box score or official recap to confirm the result. Then return to the World Series schedule to check the updated series standing and the next game date.

MLB says Gameday is available in a web browser and in the MLB app. A scoreboard card is useful for a quick check, but the game page gives more context when a score changes or a play is under review. If you only need the final result, look for “Final” and confirm that you opened the correct game date.

Do not confuse the game score with the series score

A baseball game score counts the runs each team has scored in that individual game. The World Series series score counts how many games each team has won. Those numbers are different. For example, “Brewers 3, Rays 2” is the final run score from Game 1; “Brewers lead 1–0” means Milwaukee has won one game in the series and Tampa Bay has not won one yet.

Before Game 2 begins, a page can show Milwaukee leading the series 1–0 while the Game 2 run score is still blank or the game status is scheduled. That does not mean the Brewers already have a run in Game 2. Once play starts, read the score beside the Game 2 matchup and verify the live status. If the scoreboard shows a number without an inning or game status, open Gameday rather than guessing which figure it represents.

Game 2 time: Eastern, Milwaukee, and UTC

MLB lists the scheduled first pitch as 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 24. At American Family Field in Milwaukee, the matching local time is 7:00 p.m. CDT (UTC−05:00). Eastern Daylight Time is UTC−04:00, so 8:00 p.m. EDT corresponds to 00:00 UTC on Sunday, October 25. The UTC date is one day later even though the game is Saturday night in the United States.

The date-specific offset matters because the United States has not yet switched to standard time on October 24. NIST’s 2026 calendar says daylight saving time runs through November 1. That means the October 24 game uses EDT in the Eastern time zone and CDT in Milwaukee. Use the venue time if you are attending, the MLB-listed ET time for the league schedule, or 00:00 UTC on October 25 if you need a global reference.

Where to find game updates and broadcasts

For inning changes, scoring plays, and a completed box score, use the MLB scoreboard and Gameday links above. For series dates and television listings, use MLB’s postseason schedule. MLB lists FOX, FOX One, and FOX Deportes for the 2026 World Series schedule; coverage availability can depend on the service and location. The official score page is still the simplest source if you only need to know whether a game is upcoming, live, or final.

When checking from a phone, confirm the page is showing October 24’s Game 2 rather than October 23’s final Game 1. A search result may surface a recap of the previous night because that is the most recently completed game. That recap is useful for context, but it will not provide a live Game 2 score. Refresh the MLB game page if it still says scheduled after first pitch, and check the status and latest play together.

Quick self-check

At the score check above, the verified latest final is Brewers 3, Rays 2, and Milwaukee leads the series 1–0. Game 2 is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at 8:00 p.m. EDT in MLB’s schedule, 7:00 p.m. CDT in Milwaukee, or 00:00 UTC Sunday, October 25. To confirm a newer result, open the direct Game 2 Gameday page, verify its status, and read the game score separately from the series lead.

Score check: Saturday, October 24, 2026, 1:07 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00). Game 2 had not begun at this check.
