2024 MLB playoffs schedule: Postseason dates, game times, TV channels for Mets-Brewers, Padres-Braves, more



Major League Baseball’s 2024 postseason is here. Fittingly, playoff baseball begins on Oct. 1 this year. The four best-of-three Wild Card Series will be held this week, and the quartet of League Division Series will get started on Saturday, Oct. 5. 

The playoff bracket was finalized Monday as the Mets and Braves claimed the final two spots by splitting a doubleheader in Atlanta. The Mets will face the Brewers in Milwaukee this week, while the Braves head west for a date with the Padres. Orioles-Royals and Astros-Tigers are the two Wild Card Series in the American League. The Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees and Guardians all have byes to the LDS round and will find out their opponents by Thursday night.

As a reminder, the 12-team playoff bracket is broken up into four rounds. Eight teams will play 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 earn 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.

Got it? Good. Below is the bracket and complete schedule for the 2024 postseason. MLB announced game times for the Wild Card Series on Sunday night.
