MLB Live Streams and Schedule

Baseball in October

The 2026 regular season ended on September 28 and the postseason began the next day. Twelve teams qualified, six from each league. Each league sent its three division champions plus the three other clubs with the best records. The two division winners with the best records in each league sat out the first round. The Wild Card Series were best of three, with every game at the higher seed's park. The Division Series are best of five, and the League Championship Series and the World Series are best of seven. The World Series is scheduled to begin on October 23.

Postseason start times are set around television and are often confirmed only a day or two ahead. A game can therefore appear on the board with its time filled in later, and when a series ends early, the games that are no longer needed drop off.

The regular season

From late March to late September, each of the 30 teams plays 162 games. Almost every day has a full slate, and teams play series of two to four games against the same opponent, so the same two names show up on the board several days in a row. Each day's game has its own row under its own date, so the second game of a series is never confused with the first.

Night games in the Eastern time zone start around 7:05 or 7:10 in the evening local time, which is about 23:05 UTC in summer. West Coast night games start around 02:00 UTC. Weekend day games begin from about 17:00 UTC. The pitch clock, used since 2023, has made games shorter, and many now finish inside three hours.

How baseball shows on this page

The MLB page lists seven days at a time. During the regular season that is often a hundred games or more, grouped by day, so the search box in the top bar is the quickest way to find one team. In October the list is much shorter and the games are spread through the afternoon and evening in the United States.

Each row shows both team logos, the start time and, once the game is under way, the score and the inning. Live games carry a pulsing dot. Other baseball, such as the Japanese or Korean leagues and winter leagues in the Caribbean, appears under separate headings when it is listed. Those games often start while it is night in the US, which is a good way to fill a quiet morning in Europe.

What a baseball game page shows

The game page header shows both teams with their records, first pitch on your clock and the ballpark. During the game, the score and inning refresh about once a minute. Below the header is the list of feeds. A Main row, when there is one, is the feed we picked for that game and comes first. The other rows are channels with a mirror number, and each opens the player in a new tab.

When the listings provide it, the page also shows recent results for both teams and venue details. During the postseason, the "Also on" list under the feeds shows the other series games that day, which on a Division Series day can mean four games between late morning and late evening on the East Coast.

A few things worth knowing

Rain delays and postponements are part of baseball. A postponed game stays on the board until the listings move it, and a delayed game can sit at its scheduled time for a while before it starts. If a row shows as live but the player shows a rain tarp, the game has simply not resumed yet. In the postseason, travel days between games are normal, so a series can have a gap of a day before the next game appears.

The schedule also follows the calendar after October. Once the World Series ends, MLB goes quiet until spring training starts in late February, and the page shows winter-league baseball when it is listed. Opening Day is usually in late March, and the page fills up again from then.

If you want something to watch on the same nights, the NFL page covers Thursday, Sunday and Monday football, and the NHL page has hockey most evenings from October.
