The 2024 World Series will either start on Friday, Oct. 25 or Tuesday, Oct. 22. The start date gets moved up if both the ALCS and NLCS end in five games or less. Got it? Good. Below is the complete schedule for the 2024 postseason. We'll know the Wild Card Series matchups in less than 10 days.

Just facing the Diamondbacks is not the worst-case scenario, however. The Brewers entered Sunday's action X games behind the Dodgers for the number-two seed in the National League. Playing the Wild Card series ended up benefitting three of the four winners last year, but it does not mean this Dodgers team wants to be there.

You could argue that adds another element of suspense though. Perhaps half of this year's squads will not return in 2025, meaning it could be a while before some of these teams get a shot at a World Series title again. Here is the full 2024 MLB postseason schedule and bracket if the postseason were to start today.
