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. Wednesday brings an action-packed, four-game day on the schedule. The Mets beat the Phillies to clinch their first NLCS berth since 2015 and eliminate their NL East rivals. The Padres couldn’t shut the door and instead the Dodgers forced an NLDS Game 5. Dodgers later tonight. The Tigers, meanwhile, took a 2-1 ALDS lead over the Guardians with a shutout win and the Yankees took their own series lead with a 3-2 win over the Royals.

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.
