Dodgers’ Start Times Revealed for NLCS Series Against Brewers

The National League Championship Series (NLCS) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers is set to commence, with exact game start times finally disclosed.

Game 1 is slated for Sunday, October 11, at 5 p.m. PT, with Game 2 on Monday, October 12, kicking off at 2 p.m. PT. The remaining games, Games 3 through 6, are scheduled for Wednesday, October 14, Thursday, October 15, and Friday, October 16, respectively, at 5 p.m. PT and 6 p.m. PT. If necessary, Game 7 could be played on Sunday, October 18, at 5 p.m. PT, and Monday, October 19, at 5 p.m. PT.

Given the geographical difference between the West Coast Dodgers and Central Time Brewers, MLB appears to have catered to national prime time slots. The sole exception is Monday's game, which aligns with work hours for many Dodgers supporters.

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers, known for his dual prowess as a player and a performer, led the charge in Game 4 with a home run. The victor of this series will then face the Tampa Bay Rays on the same time zone, 5 p.m. PT, in a showdown between the two divisions' champions.

Dodgers fans can catch all NLCS games on either Fox or FS1. Game 1 will air on Fox, while Game 2 may appear on either network. Games 3 through 6 are set to be broadcast on FS1, with Game 7 heading to Fox as the potential deciding match-up. Should neither team clinch four wins, Games 5, 6, and 7 remain contingent on the situation.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy anticipates a potential seven-game series, marking a significant turnaround for his team, who were ousted in four games last season. As we await the outcome of these high-stakes games, a question lingers: Will the Dodgers triumph again, and if so, how many games will it take?
