The Sports Equinox: NFL, NBA, NHL and the World Series All Play Tonight, Monday, October 26, 2026

World Series Game 3, Cowboys-Eagles on Monday Night Football, nine NBA games and three NHL games. Every game, every injury that matters, and where to find the lines, props and parlay builders for all four leagues.

 | Monday, October 26, 2026

There are busy sports nights, there are playoff nights, and then there are nights when the whole calendar lands at once. Tonight is one of them. The NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB all play on the same day, and two of the games carry extra weight: World Series Game 3 and Monday Night Football. It is the only night of this postseason when all four leagues are in action. Thursday has football but no baseball, Saturday has baseball but no football, and the World Series ends before the next Monday.

That is 14 games across four sports from 7 p.m. to past midnight, so the remote needs a plan. The easiest one is Game Zone.

WATCH ALL FOUR LEAGUES AT ONCE IN GAME ZONE

Game Zone puts every live game from every league on one screen: the World Series diamond lighting up as runners move, the football field with the ball sliding to the actual spot, the basketball court tracking which basket each team is attacking, and the hockey rink flashing the goal light the moment the puck crosses. Tonight it carries all 14 games.

• Game Zone on the website: phone or laptop, one tap between the World Series, Monday Night Football and every NBA and NHL game.

TONIGHT'S FULL CARD

Each box score link goes live at first pitch, kickoff, tipoff or puck drop and holds the final when it ends.

MLB: WORLD SERIES GAME 3, BREWERS AT RAYS

8:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Live in Game Zone; final in the Game 3 box score.

Milwaukee leads the series 2-0, and both wins came by one run. Game 1 was a 3-2 Brewers win (Game 1 box score). In Game 2, Tampa Bay scored four in the first inning, two of them on a Liam Hicks home run, and then did not score again. The Brewers chipped back with two in the first and single runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh, including a Sal Frelick home run, to win 5-4 (Game 2 box score). Abner Uribe got the win, Aaron Ashby the save, and Milwaukee's bullpen threw six scoreless innings after Logan Henderson lasted three.

The series moves to Tampa Bay for Games 3, 4 and 5 tonight through Wednesday. The Rays are expected to start former Brewer Freddy Peralta. Check the starting pitchers page for Milwaukee's confirmed starter, and the MLB Tonight board for the lineups.

Players to watch: Liam Hicks and Junior Caminero for Tampa Bay, who need a lead to hold this time; Sal Frelick, William Contreras and Jackson Chourio for Milwaukee; and Jonathan Aranda, who had three hits and a walk in Game 1. Recent form is on the MLB start/sit board and every update on the MLB player news.

Lines, props and parlays: the moneyline, run line and total are on the MLB Tonight board, with player props on the MLB props page. Build a ticket in the MLB Parlay Builder or the MLB Slip Builder, and see the market on the MLB heat map. Our Game 3 call is on the MLB verdicts page. DFS: the MLB DFS value page.

NFL: MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, COWBOYS AT EAGLES

8:15 p.m. ET. Live in Game Zone; final in the Cowboys-Eagles box score.

Both teams are 2-4 and chasing a Giants team that moved to 4-2-1 with Sunday's overtime win in Houston. Dallas lost 23-13 at Green Bay last Sunday night (box score). Philadelphia lost 25-14 at home to Carolina (box score) and is playing without Jalen Hurts, who is likely out for the season after blood clots were found in his lungs. Tanner McKee starts at quarterback.

Injury report. Cowboys: S P.J. Locke (foot), LB Marist Liufau (forearm), OT Drew Shelton (hamstring), WR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) and LB Dee Winters (calf) are out. George Pickens (shoulder) practiced fully Friday, and DeMarvion Overshown appears ready to return. Eagles: WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), RB Michael Carter (abdomen), OLB Nolan Smith (concussion) and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are out. RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring), G Landon Dickerson (knee), OLB Jonathan Greenard (ankle), TE Eli Stowers (quad) and TE Grant Calcaterra (back) are questionable, and Barkley is trending toward playing. Dallas Goedert (knee) is cleared.

Players to watch: Dak Prescott, who went 34 of 54 for 258 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions last week; CeeDee Lamb, who drew 18 targets; Pickens; Barkley if he plays; and Goedert, with DeVonta Smith and Wicks out of the Philadelphia receiver room.

Lines, props and parlays: the spread, total and props are on the Week 7 matchups page and the NFL props page.

Lines, props and parlays: every game's lines are on the NBA hub, points, rebounds, assists and threes on the NBA props page, and the NBA hot list shows who is trending. Build in the NBA Parlay Builder or the NBA Slip Builder. Calls are on the NBA verdicts page and the NBA unders page. DFS: the NBA DFS value page and the NBA start/sit board.

NHL: THREE GAMES, THREE ORIGINAL SIX TEAMS

Each of the three games includes an Original Six team: the Rangers, Maple Leafs and Red Wings.

• Kings at Rangers, 7:00: Los Angeles lost 3-1 in New Jersey Saturday, and the Rangers lost 7-4 in Ottawa the same night. (box score)

Lines, props and parlays: moneylines, puck lines and totals are on the NHL hub, shots, points and goal scorers on the NHL props page, and the market on the NHL heat map. Build in the NHL Parlay Builder or the NHL Slip Builder. Calls are on the NHL verdicts page. Goalies: the goaltending leaders. DFS: the NHL DFS value page and the NHL start/sit board.

THE BETTING ANGLE: A FOUR-LEAGUE PLAYGROUND

One evening offers a World Series moneyline, an NFL point spread, NBA player props and NHL shots on goal. Each sport has different variables and different ways for a game to turn. Five ways to approach the card:

• Know the number before you bet it. The line movement page and the all-sports heat map show where each line has moved, and the odds converter converts any price.
• Research props one player at a time. Role, minutes, ice time and matchup matter more than reputation. The NFL prop hit rate board shows how often a player clears a mark.
• Look for injury value. A confirmed absence changes touches, targets, minutes and power-play time. Start with the all-sports injury report.
• Be selective with cross-sport parlays. Combining all four leagues is fun, but every leg is another way to lose. Build it in the Parlay Builder, which takes legs from every league, then run it through the Parlay Doctor, and check the payout in the parlay calculator.
• Be careful live. In-game prices move fast, and early momentum is not a final score. Watch the game state in Game Zone before you act.

A card with all four leagues does not mean every game has value. The goal is to find prices that justify the risk, not to bet every game because the schedule is unusual. Every parlay tool on the site is in the parlay hub, and every call we make is on the public results ledger.

DFS: A MULTI-SPORT MARATHON

Tonight shows four different ways to build a lineup. In the NBA, focus on minutes, usage and rebounds. In the NFL, focus on volume, targets and red-zone work. In the NHL, look at shots, ice time and power-play units. In MLB, look at the starting pitcher, the batting order and run-producing spots.

Check each contest's rules, roster requirements and lock times, because not every league will be offered in every format. Late news changes everything: a lineup that looks right in the afternoon can be wrong by tipoff. Build unique lineups from real salaries in the DFS Lineup Generator, run your roster through the Lineup Doctor, and compare value on the MLB DFS value page, NFL DFS value page, NBA DFS value page and NHL DFS value page pages.

WHY TONIGHT MATTERS

The calendar usually makes fans choose. Football owns Sundays, basketball and hockey fill the winter, and baseball owns the summer until October. Tonight the seasons overlap: the NFL supplies a division rivalry, the NBA brings nine games, the NHL adds three, and MLB delivers Game 3 with Milwaukee trying to take a 3-0 lead and Tampa Bay trying to get back in it.

For bettors, it is a reminder that more games to choose from does not mean more bets. For fans, it is a reason to keep Game Zone open all night.

THE FINAL WORD

Monday, October 26 is a rare convergence of the four major North American leagues, with a championship series and Monday Night Football on top. From the 7 p.m. tipoffs and puck drop to the World Series and Cowboys-Eagles, something is live all evening. Four leagues, 14 games, one night.

Start at the NFL hub, MLB hub, NBA hub and NHL hub for each league, follow the news on the player news wire, and talk it over in the community forum. Watch everything in Game Zone on the website, on Roku, on Amazon Fire TV and on FantasyDailies TV.
