The Kia Tigers and the LG Twins, two teams that have been combined champions for the last three seasons in the Korean baseball league, are set to resume their postseason rivalry starting this weekend. Their first matchup in a best-of-five semi-final round is scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Tigers' home ground, Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, located about 270 kilometers south of Seoul.
The defending Korean Series champions, the Twins, also clinched the 2023 title. Their goal is to become the first team since the 2015-2016 Doosan Bears to win back-to-back Korean Series championships. The Tigers, who were the 2024 champions, are looking to make a comeback after missing the postseason in 2025. The series will begin with the first two games at the Tigers' venue, with Game 2 tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday.
The series will then travel to the Twins' home stadium, Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, for Game 3 at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and, if required, Game 4 at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. In the event the series extends beyond four games, the decisive fifth match will be held back in Gwangju at 6:30 p.m.
