2024 MLB playoff schedule: TV coverage, scores, game times, baseball games today, where to watch ALDS and NLDS

Major League Baseball’s 2024 postseason has arrived, and the divisional round is underway. The Mets beat the Phillies Wednesday to clinch their first NLCS berth since 2015 and eliminate their NL East rivals. A day later, the Yankees eliminated the Royals to clinch their own ALCS berth. On Friday, the Dodgers shut out the Padres to secure the second NLCS slot; they’ll host the Mets beginning Sunday. The Guardians and Tigers will finish the round Saturday with a pivotal Game 5 that was moved up to 1 p.m. to avoid bad weather.

The division series will all be decided this week before the LCS round gets started on Sunday, Oct. 13. Here’s the complete 2024 MLB playoff bracket.

The Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers were all ousted in the Wild Card Series last week, trimming the playoff field from 12 teams to eight.

As a reminder, the 12-team playoff bracket is broken up into four rounds. Eight teams played in the best-of-three Wild Card Series with the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds in each league hosting the No. 6 and No. 5 teams, respectively. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in each league earned byes to the League Division Series, which gets started on Saturday, Oct. 5.

The 2024 World Series will either start on Friday, Oct. 25 or Tuesday, Oct. 22. The start date gets moved up if both the ALCS and NLCS end in five games or less.
