  • Two championships could be decided by Thursday afternoon.

    The Brewers lead the Rays 3-0 in the World Series and can finish it tonight in Game 4 at Tropicana Field, 8 p.m. ET on FOX. No team has lost a World Series after going up 3-0. If Tampa Bay extends it, Game 5 is Wednesday in St. Petersburg and Games 6 and 7 would be Friday and Saturday in Milwaukee.

    The Valkyries lead the Dream 3-2 in the WNBA Finals. Game 6 is a Thursday matinee in Atlanta, 12:30 p.m. ET on USA Network and Peacock. Atlanta has to win that one to force a Game 7 on Saturday night in San Francisco.

  • On the football side, Thursday night has Carolina at Green Bay on Prime Video. Saturday brings Florida and Georgia in Atlanta at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, Ohio State at USC at 7:30 p.m. on NBC, and Oregon's first game since Dan Lanning said Dante Moore won't be back, at home against Northwestern on Peacock. Sunday night is Eagles at Commanders on NBC.

    All times are Eastern, and listings were checked Tuesday morning, Oct. 27. Start times and networks can change. Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games depend on your local market, so a network listed next to a game does not mean every affiliate will carry it. Games marked "if necessary" happen only if the series is still going.
