Here's what to know about both series, including complete schedules:
ALCS: Rays vs Guardians
The Rays swept the New York Yankees in the ALDS, taking Game 3 in the Bronx on Wednesday night as the franchise celebrated at Yankee Stadium for the second time this season, first doing so when they clinched the AL East division title on Sept. 22.
The Guardians lost the first two ALDS games to the Chicago White Sox, but rallied for three straight victories, including a 2-0 win in the deciding Game 5 on Saturday night.
Each organization is looking to either win its first World Series in franchise history (Rays) or end a long drought of winning a championship (Guardians).

NLCS: Dodgers vs Brewers
Two of MLB's best teams meet again in the National League Championship Series.
The Milwaukee Brewers (MLB-leading 103 wins) and Los Angeles Dodgers (100 wins and two-time defending World Series champions) square off in the NLCS for a second straight postseason.
In 2025, it was all Dodgers as L.A. swept the Brewers in four games, with Shohei Ohtani having one of the best games in MLB history as the four-time MVP hit three home runs and pitched six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in the Game 4 series-clinching victory en route to the Dodgers winning back-to-back World Series.
The Brewers, led by NL CY Young Award frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski, look to avenge last year's NLCS loss and win their first World Series title in franchise history.
