The Milwaukee Brewers have swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The sweep sends the Brewers to the 2026 World Series. It is the first World Series for the Brewers since 1982. The Dodgers are the team that was swept.

A sweep means the series ended without a Dodgers win in that championship round. The league round is the National League Championship Series. The next stage named is the World Series. The year 1982 is the previous Brewers appearance cited.

In rugby union, Canada defeated England by 24-21. The match was a WXV Global Series match in Toronto. The win ended an England unbeaten run of 41 matches. That run is described as the longest in rugby union history and as a four-year run for the Red Roses.
