Hurricane Ian: Updates on NFL, MLB, College Football Schedule
As the first big tropical storm of 2022 approaches, Hurricane Ian’s effects are still being felt in the Southeastern part of the country. The hurricane, which has caused significant damage in some areas of Florida, will eventually pass across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Even though it might not be spinning for some college football games on Saturday, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of damage. Furthermore, since emergency professionals would all be on high alert, states will place less importance on services like the security that are required on game days when the same resources may be utilized to protect the population.
As a result, the NFL, MLB, and college football teams have already started shifting games. Some people are moving. Others are played on other days and at different times during the week. Yebscore will post all of the schedule modifications and game updates continuously throughout the week due to hurricane Ian’s continually changing scenario. Keep checking back for changes on the schedule, game details, and much more over the weekend.
Take A Look At The Changed Schedules Caused By Hurricane Ian-
Phillies and Nationals alter the weekend schedule.
Date: September 29, Thursday
The Nationals and Phillies have decided to play a doubleheader on Friday, and a single game at 1:05 p.m. since Hurricane Ian’s remnants are expected to approach the northeast during the weekend. During Saturday.

Mets-Braves series staying in Atlanta, no change yet in dates
Date: September 29, Thursday
According to The New York Post and other publications, MLB decided to maintain the NL East weekend matchup at Trust Park.
The Friday-to-Sunday schedule will still be followed, albeit, according to reports, Saturday’s game may be shifted to Sunday as part of a doubleheader, and Friday’s game may be played in the afternoon rather than at night.
The Post claims that the Braves and MLB rejected the Mets’ request to move up their Wednesday away game by three hours and open the series on Thursday, which is a non-playing day for both clubs.
As a result, if the game is moved, it is likely the Bucs and Chiefs would play at a neutral site in the Midwest — such as Minneapolis. (the Vikings play in New Orleans on Sunday). Those plans remain fluid given the unknown path of the storm.
