The chase for a World Series title will begin with a wild-card quadrupleheader on October 3 and most likely won't conclude until the calendar turns to November.

MLB released its official 2023 postseason and broadcast schedule on Tuesday, charting out the path the 12 playoff teams will need to navigate to achieve the ultimate goal of winning a championship ring.

This year's Fall Classic, televised exclusively on Fox, will begin on Friday, October 28, at the home of the team with the better regular-season record. Game 7, if the series goes that far, will be played on Saturday, November 4.

Here's a look at the information you need to know to get ready for postseason baseball (all times TBD):
