ALDS and NLDS Uniforms 2026: What the Dodgers, Rays, Guardians and Brewers Will Wear in the Division Series

What are the Dodgers, Rays, Guardians and Brewers wearing in the Division Series? The four top seeds sat out the Wild Card round, and all four open at home on Saturday, October 3. Below is every ALDS and NLDS date, each team's home and road set, what they wore in their most recent October home games, and what they have worn down the stretch in 2026. We will fill in the opponent's jerseys as each Wild Card series ends and log every game the same night.

This page is the Division Series zoom. For the whole postseason, including the Wild Card results, who picks the jersey and whether City Connects are allowed in October, see our 2026 MLB postseason uniforms hub. Every game, both teams and both jerseys, goes on the 2026 MLB uniform tracker.

Game 3 and 4 start times depend on who wins the Wild Card round, and MLB sets them once the matchups are final.

What Changes on the Uniform in the Division Series

Nothing new gets added between the Wild Card round and the Division Series. Every playoff team keeps the 2026 postseason patch on the right side of its New Era cap, and it is the same serif POSTSEASON mark MLB has now used for three straight Octobers. We graded it, and every postseason logo since 2011, in our MLB postseason logos ranked countdown. The small STRAUSS decal stays on both sides of every batting helmet, which we explain in our playoff helmet logo breakdown. The World Series chest patch only arrives for the last two teams standing.

What Are the Rays Wearing in the ALDS?

Opponent: TBD (Yankees or Red Sox). Tampa Bay is back in the postseason for the first time since 2023, and back at Tropicana Field.

The home set. The home white, with "Rays" arched across the chest in navy and the yellow sunburst off the "R," worn with the navy "TB" cap. The Rays also own the 1998 Devil Rays "rainbow" throwback, which usually takes Friday home games, the black "Grit x Glow" City Connect, which has usually taken Saturdays, and navy and Columbia blue alternates that float.

The road set. New this month. The Rays carried no traditional road gray from 2023 until September 22, 2026, when they debuted a gray with "TAMPA BAY" arched across the chest in a light blue, green and yellow gradient. Before that, navy over gray pants was their usual road look.

What they wore this September. From August 18 on, our tracker has the Rays in the home white for 14 home games, the Devil Rays throwback for three (all Fridays), and the City Connect once. The last two Saturdays at home, September 12 and 19, were home whites, not the City Connect. On the road they wore navy 12 times, then switched to the new gray and wore it on every day of the final trip, September 23 to 27.

Recent Octobers. Tampa Bay's last home playoff games were the 2023 Wild Card Series against Texas, and the franchise has no Division Series home games since 2021.

Our expectation. Home whites at the Trop for Games 1, 2 and 5, and the new gray on the road for Games 3 and 4. Game 1 falls on a Saturday, the City Connect's usual night, and Game 5 would too. We would still bet on the whites. If the new gray gets its first postseason game at Yankee Stadium or Fenway, it will be one of the stories of the round.

What Are the Guardians Wearing in the ALDS?

Opponent: TBD (Astros or White Sox).

The home set. The home white with "Guardians" in red script, worn with the red-crown, navy-bill "Diamond C" cap. The red alternate, with "Guardians" in the squared-off Bridge Print font, is Cleveland's home color option. The navy "CLE" City Connect usually takes Friday home games, and there is no Friday home game in this series.

The road set. Road gray with "Cleveland" across the chest, or the navy alternate with the big red "Diamond C" on the chest.

What they wore this September. Since August 18, our tracker has Cleveland in home whites for 10 home games, the red alternate for six and the City Connect for two. On the road it was close to a split: navy 10 times and gray eight, with the gray on every day of the final trip, September 24 to 27.

Recent Octobers. The red alternate has a Game 1 habit. Cleveland wore it for Game 1 of the 2024 ALDS against Detroit and for Game 1 of the 2025 Wild Card Series against Detroit, then went to home whites for the games that followed. It also wore red for Game 5 of the 2024 ALCS against the Yankees. On the road in 2024, the Guardians split between the navy alternate and the gray, per MLB's game uniform records.

Our expectation. Red for Game 1 on Saturday afternoon would fit the pattern of the last two Octobers, with home whites the favorite after that. Gray or navy on the road for Games 3 and 4. Guardians uniform schedule · Guardians uniform calendar

What Are the Brewers Wearing in the NLDS?

Opponent: TBD (Padres or Cubs). Milwaukee finished with the best record in baseball, 103-59.

The home set. The cream home with "Brewers" in navy and gold and the ball-in-glove cap is the primary, and the white pinstripes trade off with it. The "Wisco" City Connect usually takes Friday home games, and a Game 5 would fall on Friday, October 9.

The road set. This is the one to watch. The Brewers retired their road grays for 2026 and replaced them with a powder blue road set, "Milwaukee" in navy and gold, with the navy cap that has a yellow front panel. The navy ball-in-glove alternate is the other road option.

What they wore this September. Since August 18, our tracker has the Brewers at home in the cream seven times, the white pinstripes on most other nights and the Wisco City Connect four times, all four on Fridays. The last homestand, September 25 to 27, was Wisco on Friday and pinstripes on Saturday and Sunday. On the road it was powder blue 11 times and navy eight.

Recent Octobers. The cream owns October at American Family Field. The Brewers wore it in all five home games of the 2025 postseason, NLDS Games 1, 2 and 5 against the Cubs and NLCS Games 1 and 2 against the Dodgers. In the 2024 Wild Card Series against the Mets, they wore the cream for Game 1 and the pinstripes for Games 2 and 3. On the road last October they wore their navy alternate and the road gray, which no longer exists.

Our expectation. Cream at home, with the pinstripes the alternative after how they finished the season. On the road, powder blue. That would be the Brewers' first postseason game in their new road uniform. Brewers uniform schedule · Brewers uniform calendar

What Are the Dodgers Wearing in the NLDS?

Opponent: TBD (Braves or Phillies, decided in Game 3 on Thursday, October 1). The Dodgers have won the last two World Series and open their bid for a third straight at home.

The home set. The home white with the "Dodgers" script, red numbers and the all-blue "LA" cap. The cream "City of Dreamers" City Connect usually takes Saturday home games.

The road set. The usual road gray has the "Dodgers" script. The alternate gray says "Los Angeles," and the royal blue road alternate comes out for select series.

What they wore this September. Since August 18, our tracker has the Dodgers in home whites for 15 home games and the City Connect for three, all Saturdays, most recently September 19. On the road it was the Dodgers gray nine times, the Los Angeles gray six times and the royal blue three times.

Recent Octobers. No team is more predictable in October. MLB's game uniform records show the Dodgers in home whites for every home playoff game in 2024 and 2025, 17 games in all, including Saturday home games like Game 1 of the 2024 NLDS and Game 2 of the 2024 World Series. On the road they wore the "Dodgers" gray in every playoff game of those two runs except one, Game 3 of the 2024 NLDS in San Diego, which was the "Los Angeles" gray.

Our expectation. Home whites for Games 1, 2 and 5, even with Game 1 on a Saturday, and the "Dodgers" gray on the road. Dodgers uniform schedule · Dodgers uniform calendar

The Bottom Line

The Division Series will mostly look like classic baseball. The Dodgers have worn home whites in every home playoff game for two years, and the Brewers have worn the cream in every home playoff game of the last postseason. The real questions are on the edges: whether Cleveland goes back to the red for Game 1, whether the Rays take their brand new gray on the road, and whether Milwaukee's powder blue gets its first October. We will fill in every game, both jerseys, the same night here and on the MLB uniform tracker.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the 2026 ALDS start?

Saturday, October 3. The Guardians host Game 1 at 1:00 p.m. ET against the Astros-White Sox winner, and the Rays host Game 1 at 6:30 p.m. ET against the Yankees-Red Sox winner. Both series are on TBS, truTV and HBO Max, and a Game 5 would be Saturday, October 10.

When does the 2026 NLDS start?

Saturday, October 3. The Brewers host the Padres-Cubs winner and the Dodgers host the Braves-Phillies winner, with Game 1 start times still to be announced. The NLDS airs on FOX and FS1, and a Game 5 would be Friday, October 9.

What are the Dodgers wearing in the NLDS?

Home whites at Dodger Stadium and the gray with the "Dodgers" script on the road are the safe bets. The Dodgers wore home whites in all 17 of their home playoff games in 2024 and 2025.

Will the Rays wear their new gray road uniform in the playoffs?

We expect so. The Rays debuted the gray with "TAMPA BAY" on the chest on September 22 and wore it on every day of their final road trip. Their ALDS road games are Games 3 and 4 at Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park.

Do the Brewers wear powder blue in the playoffs?

The powder blue is their primary road uniform in 2026, replacing the road gray, so we expect it for Games 3 and 4 of the NLDS. At home, the Brewers wore the cream in all five home games of the 2025 postseason.

Do the Guardians wear red in the playoffs?

Sometimes, and usually in Game 1. Cleveland wore the red alternate for Game 1 of the 2024 ALDS, Game 5 of the 2024 ALCS and Game 1 of the 2025 Wild Card Series, and home whites in its other home playoff games.

Which teams have a bye in the 2026 MLB playoffs?

The Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians in the American League, and the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League. All four start the Division Series at home on October 3.
