MLB playoff bracket 2024: Full schedule, TV channels, scores for AL and NL games

The smell of fall is in the air, and that means postseason baseball is here. 

After runs to the World Series by a pair of wild-card teams last October, all 12 teams enter the playoffs with realistic hopes of a deep run. For some, however, the pressure is greater.

The Dodgers and Phillies are two teams who can call this a championship-or-bust season, and only one at most can even make it to the World Series. The Yankees, meanwhile, are back in the postseason after a year away and are facing expectations to win big before Juan Soto hits free agency.

If last season proved anything, those three teams might have just as much of a chance as the other nine. Anything can happen in October, and the action promises to be dramatic from day one.

Here’s a complete look at the MLB playoff bracket and schedule for the month ahead.
