League format : MLB 2026
During the regular season, games are played mainly against teams within each league through an unbalanced schedule, which heavily favors divisional play. Twelve teams will qualify for the postseason, with the division winners seeded 1 through 3, and three wild cards seeded 4 through 6 in their respective leagues. The top two seeds in each league will receive a bye into the Division Series. The other four teams in each league will play best-of-three series, with the higher seed hosting all three games.
The No. 1 seed plays the winner of the 4-5 series, and the No. 2 seed plays the winner of 3-6 in a best-of-five playoff round to determine the final two teams from each league, who then play in the League Championship Series. The champions of each league meet in the World Series to declare an overall Major League Baseball winner. The World Series and League Championship Series are best-of-seven playoff rounds.
