If you woke up today and felt like there was something special in the air, you were right. Today is what is being referred to as the “Sports Equinox.”

What is a Sports Equinox? Well, it is a day when Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, and Major League Soccer are all playing games.

It’s only happened 29 other times in history and this is the only time in 2023 that it will occur.

On Monday, October 30, 2023, there will be 11 NBA games, 9 NHL games, 2 MLS playoff games, Monday Night Football featuring the Las Vegas Raiders and the Detroit Lions, and Game 3 of the World Series.
