One of the rare sporting events in history takes place today.
Monday, Oct. 26 marks the 33rd sports equinox, with action across the sports landscape happening around the country this evening.
There's an added bonus in 2026, with the WNBA Finals on this year's sports equinox schedule as Game 5 of the WNBA Finals between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries this evening at the Chase Center.
There's also Game 3 of the World Series between the Brewers and Rays and an NFC East battle in the City of Brotherly Love with the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys to cap off Week 7 of the NFL season.
Finally, you have NBA and NHL games on the docket, with both sports leagues regular seasons just getting started.
