How to watch MLB Playoffs in 2022? TV channel, time, and live streaming details

The MLB playoffs are finally upon us. After years of pandemic-related caveats, players and fans are both ready to get back to some classic playoff baseball.

Most of the teams that we will see have already clinched their spots in the MLB playoffs this season. The Houston Astros are the best team in the American League. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the National League champs.

The New York Yankees clinched their first AL East pennant since 2019. The Toronto Blue Jays are also headed back to the MLB playoffs, likely as the first-placed AL Wild Card team.

In the NL East, the Mets and the Braves find themselves in a statistical tie. It is likely that whichever team wins the division will play the Milwaukee Brewers, who find themselves just one game behind a Wild Card spot at the moment.

So, with the MLB playoffs upon us, there is one thing that all the fans are wondering. When and where can we watch the 2022 MLB postseason?

What channels can I watch the MLB playoffs on?

There will be five primary networks that viewers in the United States can watch the playoffs on. They are ESPN, TBS, FS1 and the MLB Network. These networks will be covering sporadic games. Fox Sports will broadcast every single game of the postseason.
