The Milwaukee Brewers closed out the 2026 World Series in Tampa Bay on Oct. 28, 2026, beating the Rays 4-1 in Game 5 at Tropicana Field to win the franchise's first championship. Milwaukee had taken a 3-0 series lead by winning Games 1 through 3, including a 10-1 rout in Game 3, before the Rays staved off elimination with a Game 4 win at home. The Brewers finished the job the following night.
Tampa Bay's only run came on a Chandler Simpson RBI double in the bottom of the ninth, but closer Trevor Megill secured the final out on a groundout. Catcher William Contreras was named Series MVP. The title ended a 57-season wait for Milwaukee, which had never previously won a World Series; the Rays, appearing in just their second World Series, also remained without a title.
