Major League Baseball released this year’s postseason schedule on Monday afternoon, more than a month before the regular season wraps. 

The playoffs will officially begin on Tuesday, Sept. 30, with the four Wild Card Series. Those best-of-three sets will conclude no later than Thursday, Oct. 2. From there, the Division Series will begin on Saturday, Oct. 4, with the League Championship Series getting underway no earlier than Sunday, Oct. 12.

The 2025 World Series, meanwhile, will kick off on Friday, Oct. 24. A potential Game 7, should it come to that, would take place on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Here’s a full breakdown, beginning with the Wild Card Series.
