It may not be a traditional sports holiday like Christmas, Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July, but Monday will be a mix of all three for fans.

Oct. 30, 2023, is one of the rare dates on the sports calendar that will feature professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey games. From Monday Night Football to the World Series to the NBA and NHL seasons, there is action across the board.

Oct. 30, 2023, will be the 30th sports equinox in history.

The first one occurred on Oct. 17, 1971, with a World Series Game 7, 12 NFL games, three NBA games and six NHL games. Nine sports equinoxes occurred between 1971 and 1980, another fell on Oct. 27, 1985, and then it was 16 more years before another one happened again on Nov. 4, 2001. There has been at least one sports equinox every year since 2015, including three in 2022.

There is a small window where a sports equinox can occur. The NBA and NHL seasons traditionally begin in mid-to-late October, right as the MLB postseason is coming to a close. Because of those schedules, 26 of the 29 sports equinoxes in history have occurred between Oct. 12 and Nov. 4 in their given year.

MLB - Game 3 of the World Series
NFL - Monday Night Football - Las Vegas Raiders vs. Detroit Lions
NBA - 11 games
NHL - 9 games.

Well, with World Cup Final once every four years, that would be some event.

One year I got lucky with tickets in the lottery for the Mens Wimbledon final while also having tickets for the F1 on the same day. And Ive also watched the World Cup final on a screen in hospitality while at the F1. But Im not sure all 3 would land on the same day without checking back. Some very big weekends in the summer sometimes though.
