The 2024 MLB postseason will feature a month of games broadcast across six channels and, for the first time, includes a wrinkle for the start of the World Series.
Overall, the postseason is scheduled to run from the start of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to a potential Game 7 of the World Series as late as Saturday, Nov. 2.
MLB postseason schedule
Here’s everything you need to know.
When does the World Series start?
The 2024 World Series is scheduled to begin on Oct. 25 at the home of the league champion with the better record and continue through a potential Game 7 on Saturday, Nov. 2. The scheduled off-days are Sunday, Oct. 27, and Thursday, Oct. 31.
But for the first time, there’s a major caveat: Should the National League Championship Series and American League Championship Series both end by Oct. 19 — meaning neither series lasts longer than five games under the current schedule — the World Series will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 22, with a potential Game 7 coming on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
In that scenario, the World Series off-days would be Thursday, Oct. 24, and Monday, Oct. 28.
How many postseason rounds are there?
There are four postseason rounds: the best-of-three Wild Card Series, the best-of-five Division Series, the best-of-seven League Championship Series and the best-of-seven World Series.
