2022 MLB playoffs: World Series schedule, game times, TV channel as Astros vs. Phillies continues Saturday

Major League Baseball has reached the World Series in the 2022 playoffs. MLB’s postseason started with 12 teams three weeks ago, and now we’re down to the final two: the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies. The Fall Classic kicked off Friday night, with the Phillies overcoming a five-run deficit to win in extra innings. The Astros will try to even the series back at Minute Maid Park on Saturday night.

This is the largest playoff field ever for a full, 162-game season, and you can read more on the new format here. Ten teams — the Yankees, Padres, Guardians, Dodgers, Braves, Mariners, Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays — were eliminated in the first three rounds. The Dodgers, Braves and Mets all won at least 100 games this year, but none of them won a single series in the postseason.

The 2022 MLB postseason will stretch beyond October. Game 4 of the 2022 World Series is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 1, so that is a guaranteed date. Game 7 of the World Series is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 5. It would be the latest World Series game in MLB history. Because the first week of the regular season was postponed due to the owners’ lockout, each team had three makeup games added to the end of their schedule.

Below is the full 2022 MLB postseason schedule, including broadcast information. Games on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, Fox and FS1 can be streamed on fuboTV (try for free).
