2026 KBO Remaining Games Schedule and How to Watch

The 2026 KBO remaining game schedule runs through October 12. From October 6 to 12, 21 games are scheduled at nine ballparks, including Jamsil. Start times and broadcast channels for each game are available on the KBO schedule.

The figures are based on the announcement issued on September 30, 2026, and the schedule checked on October 5.

What changed in the remaining game schedule

The second round of scheduling assigned dates to 11 games that had not been rescheduled after rainouts. The 105 games in the August announcement were the number being scheduled at that time. They should not be read as the number of games remaining in October.

The figures in the first announcement come from the KBO August 25 press release. The second announcement is in the KBO September 30 press release. The counts of 11 and 21 games cover different periods.

2026 KBO October game schedule and broadcasts

A total of 21 games are scheduled for October 6-12, excluding reserve dates. Matchups below list the away team first and the home team second. All times are Korea time, and ballpark names follow KBO usage.

Matchups and times were cross-checked against the KBO game schedule and results. Channels were checked against the October 5-11 TV broadcast schedule. The final day's channels come from the October 12 TV broadcast schedule.

October 10 game time at Sajik

The LG-Lotte game at Sajik was changed to a 14:00 start. KBO announced on October 2 that it changed the time to accommodate the away team on its travel day. The games in Gwangju and Daejeon are listed at 17:00 on the schedule checked.

Grouping all Saturday games under one start time would therefore be incorrect. The change appears in the KBO notice on the game start time change.

Remaining games and opponents by team

KIA and Lotte each have six games scheduled for October 6-12. The figures below were calculated by recounting the daily schedule for each team. Reserve-date matchups were not included.

The team totals add up to 42 games counted by team. Because two teams take part in each game, there are 21 actual games. This calculation helps identify double-counting in team-by-team totals.

Why including reserve dates in the game count causes errors

Matchups in parentheses in the attached schedule are separate from the actual scheduled games. The parentheses mark reserve dates to which canceled games can be moved. A matchup appearing in several slots does not mean that many games have been added.

The reserve matchups for October 8 in the September 30 attachment are as follows.

A game remains one game even if several channels appear in the broadcast schedule. For example, three channels are listed for KT-Samsung on October 11 (South Korea). Counting that as three games would make the team-by-team remaining game totals incorrect.

Rules for scheduling rainouts and doubleheaders

Games canceled because of rain are moved to designated reserve dates first. In a doubleheader, the same two teams play two games in one day. If there is no reserve date, the next consideration is whether the same teams are scheduled to play again later.

If a game is canceled because of rain or other reasons, it will first be scheduled on a reserve date in the announced schedule.

The quoted document is KBO’s “Second Remaining Regular Season Game Schedule Confirmed.”

1. If an announced reserve date is available, schedule the game on that date first.
2. If there is no reserve date and the same teams are scheduled to play the next day, schedule a doubleheader.
3. If the next day’s matchup is different, consider the second day of a later matchup between the same teams.
4. Schedule later any game that cannot be placed that way.

The August 25 notice also set doubleheader start times. Game 2 will not start earlier if Game 1 ends early. If Game 1 ends late, a gap between games will be maintained.

Each game in a doubleheader is limited to nine innings. The same limit applies even if only one of the two games is played. The notice’s limit of at most one doubleheader per team applies to September 29-October 5.

That limit should not be applied unchanged from October 6 onward. The detailed rules are in the KBO August 25 announcement.

What to watch

The remaining matchups and travel routes are points to watch in the schedule. These are differences shown in the schedule. The schedule alone cannot predict a particular team’s wins or standings.

• KT and Samsung meet in Suwon on October 7 (South Korea). They meet again in Daegu on October 11-12.
• Lotte plays LG at Sajik on October 9-10. It then travels to Gwangju and Jamsil.
• KIA plays in Gwangju on October 10-12. Its opponents are SSG, Lotte and LG, in that order.
• Kiwoom has two games scheduled at Gocheok during this period. The date of each team’s last scheduled game varies.

Comparing 2026 KBO broadcasts and attending games

For TV viewing, check the channel for each game. For attending in person, check the home team’s ticket seller. Broadcast channels can change by date even at the same ballpark. Broadcast schedules may change at the broadcasters’ discretion.

The abbreviations in the KBO broadcast schedule refer to these channels.

Ticket sellers for attending games are linked by team in the KBO ticket guide. LG, Hanwha, Samsung, KT and KIA are directed to Ticketlink. Doosan and Kiwoom have links to NOL Ticket. SSG, Lotte and NC are listed with their own team ticket sellers.

This schedule does not list ticket prices for individual games. Prices and sale start times must be checked on the relevant home team’s booking page. A TV channel listing does not mean online viewing rights are included.

Regular season and postseason distinction

The remaining games scheduled through October 12 are regular-season games. The postseason opening date cannot be calculated from that date alone. The September 30 notice set out exceptional conditions for playing postponed games.

A game played during the postseason period can therefore still be a regular-season game. The type of game, rather than its date, determines the distinction. Check the regular-season and postseason options on the schedule as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is October 7 the last day of the regular season?

The August 25 announcement scheduled games through October 7. The second round of scheduling announced on September 30 extends through October 12. The schedule may be adjusted again if more games are canceled.

Are there no games on October 8?

The schedule checked on October 5 has no games actually scheduled for that day. The attachment does, however, list reserve matchups by ballpark. This may change depending on whether earlier games are canceled.

Why do the games on Friday, October 9 start at 14:00?

October 9 is Hangeul Day, a public holiday. The KBO notice set the standard start time for public-holiday games at 14:00. All three games on that date are also listed at 14:00.

Does each ballpark have a fixed broadcast channel?

Channels vary by date and matchup, even at the same ballpark. Some games are scheduled on multiple channels. Check the KBO broadcast schedule and the broadcaster’s schedule on game day.
