The Fall Classic could be running later into the fall this postseason if it goes more than four games.
Major League Baseball announced their postseason schedule on Monday. The schedule features a World Series game seven scheduled for November 4th.
This would be the third time that a World Series game would take place in the month of November. The most memorable was the 2001 World Series, which pushed games six and seven to November after the league suspended play for six days after the September 11th attacks.
This was inevitable with the later than usual start of the season. The playoff schedule breaks down like so:
AL Wild Card Game: October 6;
NL Wild Card Game: October 7;
Both ALDS: begin on October 8 — Game 5s, if necessary, October 14;
Both NLDS: begin on October 9 — Game 5s, if necessary, October 15;
ALCS: begins October 16 — Game 7, if necessary, October 24;
NLCS: begins October 17 — Game 7, if necessary, October 25;
World Series dates
Game 1: October 27
Game 2: October 28
Game 3: October 30
Game 4: October 31
Game 5 (if necessary): November 1
Game 6 (if necessary): November 3
Game 7 (if necessary): November 4
