Explaining Rare Sports Equinox Featuring MLB World Series, WNBA Finals on 2026 Schedule

Monday is quite the feast for avid sports fans. Call it a sports equinox of sorts.

As Steven Louis Goldstein of The Athletic wrote, "The sports equinox raises all that to another level—there are both World Series and WNBA Finals matchups, plus Monday Night Football, nine NBA games and three NHL contests all on the same night."

If you want to complete your own sports equinox, here are the games you can watch on national broadcasts:

Event	League	Time (ET)	Watch
Los Angeles Kings at New York Rangers	NHL	7 p.m.	NHL Network
Dallas Mavericks at Miami Heat	NBA	7:30 p.m.	NBATV
Atlanta Dream at Golden State Valkyries	WNBA	8 p.m.	USA, CNBC
Milwaukee Brewers at Tampa Bay Rays	MLB	8 p.m.	Fox
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles	NFL	8:15 p.m.	ABC, ESPN
Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets	NBA	10 p.m.	NBCSN

Of course, you'll have nine NBA games and three NHL contests overall to choose from if you have NBA League Pass or ESPN+, so mix and match as you please.

Given that the MLB season wraps up in late October or early November, it's pretty rare to get NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB games all on the same night. Add the WNBA to the mix, and it's an even more uncommon sports cocktail.

That makes Monday a real feast for the eyes. So indulge, sports fans. Fill thy cup.
