2024 MLB playoffs: Schedule, postseason bracket, standings


The 2024 MLB playoffs are finally here!

For the third year, the 12-team postseason kicked off with an action-packed wild-card round, featuring eight teams battling for four spots to advance to the eight-team division series. The Astros, Orioles and Braves were all swept by their wild-card opponents, sending the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres on to the division series. In this year’s only Game 3, Pete Alonso and the New York Mets stunned the Milwaukee Brewers with a ninth-inning go-ahead homer to move on.

The Phillies became the first team knocked out of the divisional round when the Mets closed out Game 4 at Citi Field with a 4-1 win to upset Philadelphia and secure a spot in the NLCS. The Padres and the Dodgers are battling for the other NLCS berth. Meanwhile, in the American League, the Yankees and Guardians have the top two spots and are facing the Royals and Tigers, respectively.

From the first pitch of the wild-card games to the last out of the World Series, we’ve got you covered with the postseason bracket, schedules, results and how to watch every game this October.
