The 2024 MLB postseason features a month of games broadcast across six channels and, for the first time, includes a wrinkle for the start of the World Series. Should the National League Championship Series and American League Championship Series both end by Oct. 19 -- meaning neither series lasts longer than five games under the current schedule -- the World Series will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 22, with a potential Game 7 coming on Wednesday, Oct. 30. In that scenario, the World Series off-days would be Thursday, Oct. 24, and Monday, Oct. 28.

• MLB postseason schedule

The 2024 MLB postseason will be broadcast across a variety of networks, and the World Series will be broadcast on FOX. All games on TNT Sports platforms, FOX and FS1 will be available to MLB.TV subscribers who are authenticated subscribers to those networks via a participating pay TV provider. The Wild Card Series will also be available on the ESPN app.
