The second round of the 2026 Subway Series kicks off tonight.

The annual matchup between the New York Yankees and New York Mets heads to The Bronx for a three-game weekend series.

Right now, the Mets have the edge in the season series, as they won two of three at home during the first round of this year’s Subway Series back in May.

The Mets are coming into the series on a four-game win streak where they scored 35 runs across the four games; the most recent win came in a 15-14 nail-biter against Miami.

The Yankees are also riding a winning streak into this weekend and got a huge boost in the lineup earlier this week with the return of Aaron Judge. The Yankees’ captain missed 100 days with a fractured rib.

Pregame ceremonies held before the 7:05 p.m. first pitch will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
