The scheduled game between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals on May 22, 2026, was postponed due to inclement weather. The decision was announced by the teams and Major League Baseball, citing persistent rain in the Washington, D.C., area.
The game has been rescheduled for May 23, 2026, as part of a doubleheader at Nationals Park. The first game is set to begin at 1:05 PM ET, with the second game following approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first.
This postponement affects the Braves' current road trip and the Nationals' home series. Both teams are competing in the National League East, with the Braves holding a strong record as of late May 2026.
