The schedule for the remaining matches of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season has been finalized.

On the 25th, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) officially announced the finalized schedule for the remaining games of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season.

The scheduled matches include 45 unplayed games and postponed games due to rain, totaling 105 games that require rescheduling, all set to be played by October 7.

In accordance with Article 21 of the league regulations, games from September 1 to 14 will begin at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and at 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Starting from September 15, games will begin at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. However, during the Chuseok holiday period from September 24 to 27, all games will start at 5:00 p.m. to accommodate travel convenience during the long holiday.

If games are canceled due to rain or other reasons between August 25 and September 28, they will first be rescheduled as make-up dates from the originally announced schedule. However, the make-up date on September 21 will only be used if games scheduled for September 19–20 are canceled. If no make-up date is available, games with the same matchup after September 29 will be played as a doubleheader on the second day of that matchup. Games without a subsequent same matchup will be rescheduled at a later date.

Even if games scheduled for September 29 or later are canceled, they will first be assigned to make-up dates from the originally announced schedule. If no make-up date is available, the rescheduling method will vary depending on the following day's matchup. If the next day features the same matchup, it will be played as a doubleheader on that day; if the next day does not feature the same matchup, rescheduling will follow this order: (1) play as a doubleheader on the second day of the same matchup, or (2) reschedule at a later date.

Doubleheaders will not be held during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games period and will only begin from September 29. In particular, between September 29 and October 5, each team may hold a maximum of one doubleheader. Both the first and second games of a doubleheader will consist of up to nine innings, and even if only one game is played, it will also be limited to nine innings.

The start time for the first game of a doubleheader is 3:00 p.m. on weekdays and 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The second game begins at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Even if the first game is canceled or ends early, the second game will proceed at its originally scheduled time. If the first game ends after 5:50 p.m. on weekdays or after 4:20 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the second game will begin at least 40 minutes later.

When canceled games are rescheduled as make-up dates or doubleheaders, up to nine consecutive games may be scheduled. If multiple make-up dates exist for a canceled game, it will first be assigned to the make-up date closest to the original cancellation date.

Meanwhile, if games postponed due to rain or other reasons involve teams not participating in the postseason, or even if they involve teams that have qualified for the postseason but are not part of the relevant series, matches may still be held on travel days between the final day of the regular season and the opening of the Wild Card game, or during the postseason period.
