The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) finalized the schedule for the second round of remaining games in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season on the 30th.

The KBO explained, "The scheduled games are the 11th matches that were canceled due to rain during the first round of remaining games and had not been rescheduled, and they have been scheduled through October 12."

If a game is canceled due to rain or other reasons, it will be prioritized for scheduling on the reserve day listed in the published schedule.

If there are no reserve days available, it will be scheduled as a doubleheader if the matchup is the same as the following day's game.

If the following day's game does not feature the same matchup, rescheduling will follow this order: ① A doubleheader on the second day of the same matchup, or ② Scheduling at a later date according to the original scheduling sequence.

Game start times are 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays. However, games on October 10 may be changed to 2:00 p.m. upon request from the relevant teams, considering travel for the following day's game.

Meanwhile, if a game is postponed due to rain or other reasons, and it is a match between teams not participating in the postseason, or if it involves a postseason-qualifying team but is unrelated to that team's series, the game may be played on the travel day between the final day of the regular season and the opening day of the Wild Card Series, or during the postseason period.

Additionally, at least one travel day will be secured between the last regular season game for a team advancing to the Wild Card Series and the date of the Wild Card Series.

If there are two teams tied for 1st place or 5th place in the regular season, a separate tiebreaker game for 1st or 5th place will be held the day before the Wild Card Series, in accordance with KBO League regulations.

The No. 1 tiebreaker is also drawing attention. As of the morning of the 30th, the gap between 1st-place KT Wiz and 2nd-place Samsung Lions is three games. With KT having nine games remaining and Samsung having ten, the two teams will face off in a final two-game series on the 11th and 12th of next month.

If the gap between the two teams is two games at that time, and the team trailing in the standings wins both games, a tiebreaker will be held.
