The 2025 MLB postseason is almost here. The regular season will come to a close on Sunday, September 28, setting the stage for a playoff field where there’s no clear dominant team. Fans can expect plenty of chaos, drama, and unpredictability. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

12 teams make the MLB playoffs, six from each league. Two teams from each league (the division winners with the best records) will receive first-round byes, while the remaining four teams from each league will compete in the Wild Card round.
