2022 MLB playoffs: Schedule, game times, TV channel, live stream as Phillies, Astros advance

The 2022 Major League Baseball postseason began on Saturday with the Phillies’ four-time victory over the Braves, sending Philadelphia to the NLCS, and then the Astros beating the Mariners. The Padres lead the Dodgers 2-1 in the NLDS respectively and will try to close the best-of-five series at home. Meanwhile, the Guardians-Yankees moved to Cleveland for Game 3, where the home team went 6-5 to take a 2-1 series lead.

This is the largest playoff field in the entire 162-game season. you can read more about the new format here. Four teams — the Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Races — were knocked out of the best-of-three Wild Card series over the weekend.

The 2022 MLB postseason will extend beyond October. Game 4 of the 2022 World Series is scheduled for Tuesday, November 1st, so that’s a guaranteed date. Game 7 of the World Series is scheduled for Saturday, November 5th. This will be the last World Series game in MLB history. As the first week of the regular season was delayed due to the owners’ lockout, each team added three makeup games to the end of their schedule.

Here’s something else to know about this year’s postseason schedule:

• The Wild Card series up to three wins will be played three days in a row. There are no days off in the show.
• There are no days off between 4 and 5 LDS games or between 5 and 6 LCS games. The journey can turn into a nightmare if teams meet on opposite coasts.
• The World Series is played in the usual 2-3-2 format with days off between games 2 and 3 and games 5 and 6.
