Fans watch the Rays and Cleveland Guardians in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on the big screen at Tropicana Field during a watch party on Oct. 18, 2026.

Games 1 and 2 will be shown on the videoboard while guests watch from the stands or field. Upgrades include a buffet at the Hall of Fame Bar & Grill or seating in 162 Landing with food and drink included.

Tropicana Field will host official watch parties for the Tampa Bay Rays while they play in Milwaukee during the World Series.

Fans can watch from the field or seats while the games are shown on the 171-by-36-foot LED video board behind right field.

The parties will take place during Games 1 and 2 on Friday and Saturday and, if necessary, Games 6 and 7 on Oct. 30-31. Game time is 8 p.m.

The Rays are offering three ways to watch:

A $10 general admission ticket includes the telecast, access to the Cownose Clubhouse stingray tank, family entertainment and drawings, and playing catch on the field (bring a glove). Food and drink are available for purchase.

A $35 ticket includes a buffet of ballpark fare in the Hall of Fame Bar & Grill before moving to the field or seats to watch the game.

An all-inclusive $60 ticket gets you into the 162 Landing area with food, beer, wine and soft drinks included in the price. Guests get field-level seating and an optimal view of the video board.
