2024 MLB Postseason Schedule: A Look at the 2024 MLB Playoffs Schedule including TV Information

 

The 2024 MLB Postseason is a few weeks away from first pitch. The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees have already punched their ticket to the playoffs and will be joined by 10 other teams in short order. As has been the case since 2022, the 2024 MLB Postseason will feature three series in each league -the Wild Card Series, Division Series, and League Championship Series, respectively- before two teams battle in the 2024 World Series. The top two seeds in the American League and National League will get a first-round bye and won’t participate until the Division Series on Saturday, October 5. A new wrinkle for 2024, the World Series schedule can be moved up if the ALCS and NLCS finish in quicker than anticipated.
