2024 MLB playoff schedule: TV coverage, scores, game times, where to watch ALDS and NLDS, baseball live stream
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on October 8, 2024
Major League Baseball’s 2024 postseason has arrived, and the divisional round is underway. The Tigers and Royals both notched key wins on Monday to even both ALDS matchups. All four LDS matchups — Mets-Phillies, Padres-Dodgers, Tigers-Guardians and Royals-Yankees — are now tied 1-1.
On Sunday, the Phillies beat the Mets in Game 2, getting a walk-off single from Nick Castellanos to win a thrilling back-and-forth affair at Citizens Bank Park. The Padres, meanwhile, hit six home runs in their blowout win over the Dodgers that featured some high tensions and an incident involving fans and San Diego players.
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.
