2024 MLB playoff schedule: Baseball games today, times for Yankees vs. Guardians ALCS, Dodgers vs. Mets NLCS

The schedule is set for the ALCS and NLCS in Major League Baseball’s 2024 postseason. The best-of-seven NLCS starts Sunday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers host the New York Mets. On the American League side of the MLB playoff bracket, the New York Yankees are set to square off with the Cleveland Guardians in a battle of the AL’s top two seeds. The ALCS gets started Monday night in the Bronx.

The Mets eliminated the second-seeded Philadelphia Phillies to reach the NLCS for the first time since 2015. The Phillies were the only team with a Wild Card Series bye (and a top-two seed) to not reach the LCS this season. The Dodgers ousted the San Diego Padres, the Yankees handled the Kansas City Royals and the Guardians ended the Detroit Tigers’ season in ALDS Game 5 on Sunday.

The Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers were all ousted in the Wild Card Series.

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.
