MLB playoff schedule 2024: Full bracket, dates, times, TV channels for every series image

It's time for playoff baseball. 

The 2024 MLB postseason is underway, giving fans a five-week stretch of high-stakes baseball. And there are certainly plenty of storylines looming this October.

On the heels of MLB's first-ever 50-50 season, Shohei Ohtani is primed for his postseason debut, as the Dodgers await their opponent in the NLDS. But the road through the National League won't be easy, with the battle-tested Phillies touting homefield advantage as they seek their second World Series appearance in the last three years. 

In the American League, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto carry the Yankees into the playoffs after a one-year absence. But the field is as wide-open as ever, and New York will likely have to best its postseason nemesis — the stalwart Astros — in order to advance through October. 

The Sporting News has you covered with everything that you need to know about the 2024 MLB postseason, including a complete schedule with TV and live stream information for every game. 

How to watch the 2024 MLB playoffs: TV channel, live stream

  • TV channel: ABC | ESPN | Fox | FS1 | TBS | truTV
