New York officials postponed Saturday night’s marquee Major League Baseball matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium due to forecasts of sustained heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, and potential flash flooding in the region. The game, originally set for 8:08 p.m. ET on July 18, 2026, and scheduled for national broadcast on FOX, was called off roughly three hours before first pitch. The teams will play a split-admission doubleheader on Sunday, July 19, with the makeup game at 12:35 p.m. ET and the series finale at 7:20 p.m. ET under the Yankees’ existing rain check ticket policy.
