The MLB World Series is the final championship event of professional baseball in the United States and Canada in which the champions of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) meet. It’s a best-of-seven-game series, meaning the first team to win four games is crowned MLB champion. The World Series takes place after both teams have passed the stages of playoffs in their respective leagues.
The road to the World Series begins with the regular season, in which 30 teams (15 in the American League and 15 in the National League) compete to win their division or secure a wild card spot. The playoffs They begin with a wild card round (Wildcard), followed by the Division Series and then the League Championship Series (ALCS and NLCS). The winners of these two series meet in the World Series.
The World Series is traditionally played in October or November, which has earned it the nickname “Fall Classic.” The team that wins four of the seven games is considered the MLB champion for that season.
