Highlighted by World Series Game 5, Sunday will be Sports Heaven for the City of L.A.
Hosting a World Series game is a huge, generational event. For fans in L.A. on Sunday, though, Game 5 between the Red Sox and Dodgers (8:15 p.m. ET on FOX) is just the tip of one of the biggest sports icebergs that any city could hope for.
The Dodgers are the headliner, of course, but they're also just one of six home games for sports teams in the City of Angels -- all taking place in the span of just a few hours. So, to help you prepare, we've put together the following handy watch guide.
3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 PT
It all starts at Staples Center, where the Kings host the New York Rangers in a rematch of the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals. We'll be coming back here later, we promise.
4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 PT
Once you've taken in a little hockey, hop on the 110 and head south to the L.A. Coliseum, where the undefeated Rams welcome Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. If football isn't your thing, though, don't worry: Also at 4:30, you can watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic do and say completely ridiculous things as the Galaxy hosts the Houston Dynamo in MLS action.
8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
Not one, but two hockey games -- this one in Anaheim, as the Ducks meet the San Jose Sharks.
8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT
The main event:
9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT
If you need to take the occasional break from the stress of October baseball, just head back to Staples Center, where the ice will be replaced by a basketball court in time for the Clippers to take on the Washington Wizards.
There you have it: six games, five stadiums, one wild sports marathon. According to the folks at 538, a city has had all four major sports teams in action on the same day only once before -- back on Nov. 4, 2001, when Phoenix got to watch the Suns, Cardinals, Coyotes and D-backs.
Not all of those games were played in Arizona, and Sunday will add a fifth league to the mix. L.A. probably hopes that its Fall Classic run ends in similar fashion, though:
