Introduction

Major League Baseball (MLB) is an American professional baseball organization, the oldest of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. A total of 30 teams play in the National League (NL) and American League (AL), with 15 teams in each league. The NL and AL were formed as separate legal entities in 1876 and 1901, respectively. After cooperating but remaining legally separate entities beginning in 1903, the leagues merged into a single organization led by the Commissioner of Baseball in 2000. The organization also oversees Minor League Baseball, which comprises about 240 teams affiliated with the Major League clubs. With the World Baseball Softball Confederation, MLB manages the international World Baseball Classic tournament.

The regular season

The Major League Baseball regular season is typically scheduled to last for 162 games, which are usually played over a span of six months, from late March or early April to late September or early October. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Major League Baseball season will be shortened to 60 games.

The postseason

The postseason (speaking of baseball) is the period at the end of the regular season when the top teams in each division (and a few “wild card” teams with the best records who didn’t win their divisions) compete in a tournament leading up to the World Series.

Conclusion

Major League Baseball season begins in late March and ends in early October. The regular season is 162 games, followed by the playoffs and World Series.
