MLB playoff schedule 2025: Full bracket, dates, times, TV channels to watch every postseason series image

There's nothing better than playoff baseball. 

After a thrilling regular season, 12 teams move on to the MLB postseason, beginning a five-week stretch that will culminate with one team hoisting the World Series trophy.

What might Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers have in store for an encore, after winning it all last season? The road there will at least be longer than it was last season, as Los Angeles will have to play in the Wild Card series after failing to earn a first-round bye. 

Superstars abound, and we're not just talking about Ohtani. Aaron Judge looks for redemption after struggling in October last season, as he leads the red-hot Yankees in pursuit of their 28th championship. Cal Raleigh will try to keep the storybook season rolling for the Mariners, as baseball's newest home run king seizes the biggest stage. And what will the Brewers accomplish after their own magic carpet ride of a regular season? 

The Sporting News gets you set to watch the 2025 MLB postseason, with TV and live stream information for every game and a complete schedule for every round.
