Contents
The MLB playoffs are upon us! Here’s a look at the schedule and where to catch the action.
Introduction
The baseball playoffs are a best-of-seven series of games played between the two winners of the American League and National League Wild Card Game, four teams which have qualified by having the best regular-season record in their respective leagues. The Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs began in 1969.
What is the baseball playoff schedule?
The Major League Baseball playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the MLB regular season. As of 2019, the playoffs begin in October. The team that wins the World Series championship is awarded the Commissioner’s Trophy. All rounds of the playoffs use a 2–3–2 home/away rotation, which was established in 1985 to minimize travel during what was already a long postseason.
Due to schedule changes for the 2020 season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the American League Championship Series and National League Championship Series will be played at neutral sites. The World Series will also be played at a neutral site.
How often do the playoffs occur?
The MLB playoffs occur every October.
