Odessa Midland, TX, October 14, 2026 —
Game 3 of the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians has been moved to a 1 p.m. start Thursday in Cleveland. The game had been scheduled for later that day, but the start time was moved earlier because of a forecast for rain that evening.
The change affects the game’s scheduled start time. The information provided does not indicate that the game’s date or location has changed: it remains scheduled for Thursday in Cleveland. No further details about the forecast or the decision-making process were provided.
The announcement does not specify the time zone for the 1 p.m. start. It also does not include information about television or streaming coverage, ticket arrangements, or whether any other games in the series could be affected. Those details cannot be confirmed from the information available.
For now, the stated schedule is an earlier afternoon start for Game 3, rather than an evening start. The reason given is the possibility of rain later Thursday, not a report that rain has already disrupted the game or that the matchup has been postponed. No additional changes or next steps were included in the announcement.
