MLB playoff schedule 2026: Full bracket, scores, times, TV channels to watch every postseason series

The 2026 MLB playoff schedule is here, and fans can expect a full bracket, scores, times, and TV channels to watch every postseason series. More than seven months after spring training began, the stage is set for the team that will don the MLB crown. The Los Angeles Dodgers, as two-time defending champions, lead the pack, but concerns loom over the health of their star player, Shohei Ohtani.

While the Dodgers are on a dynastic run, the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, who held the best records during the regular season, have yet to taste World Series success. The Padres, another postseason entrant without a title, could be on course for their first championship.

For those wanting to catch all the action, NBC, NBCSN, and Peacock will broadcast the wild card games starting September 29. Fox and FS1 will cover the rest of the postseason, with the World Series returning to Fox as it has every year since 2000. Streaming options include DIRECTV, fubo, and Peacock, with the latter offering exclusive content. All games on NBC, NBCSN, Fox, and FS1 can be streamed with fubo, which also provides a free trial for new subscribers.

With the postseason matchup and times decided, fans can now plan their viewing schedule and enjoy the thrill of the MLB playoffs in 2026.
