MLB World Series 2025: Start Dates, How to Watch, and Everything You Need to Know

The Fall Classic is almost here since autumn has arrived.

The 2025 World Series will conclude the MLB season in a few weeks. Three of the top regular season teams are looking to unseat the reigning champions, and there are still four teams in the MLB postseason picture.

In the NLCS, the Los Angeles Dodgers are playing the Milwaukee Brewers, who are ranked first. The Brewers are among five teams that have never won a championship, while the Dodgers aim to become the first MLB team in 25 years to win the World Series repeatedly.

The Toronto Blue Jays are playing the Seattle Mariners in the American League. The Mariners are trying to earn their first-ever World Series berth, while the Blue Jays are attempting to win their first World Series since 1993.
