The Yankees beat the Red Sox 9–0 in Game 1 on Tuesday, September 29, putting Boston one loss from elimination. Game 2 is Wednesday. The best-of-three Wild Card series is at Yankee Stadium throughout; Boston must win twice to advance, and there is no Fenway home date in this round.

The next games: first pitch and TV

  • Game 2 — Wednesday, September 30: 8 p.m. at Yankee Stadium. Watch on NBC or stream on Peacock. Boston radio: WEEI 93.7 FM.
  • Game 3 — Thursday, October 1, if necessary: currently 8 p.m. at Yankee Stadium, on NBC and Peacock. MLB may move it to 7 p.m. depending on the other series.

Peacock is a streaming option; access requires an eligible subscription. These national postseason broadcasts differ from the familiar regular-season routine, so check your TV listing or streaming access before first pitch. See Peacock’s official viewing schedule.

The bracket: who waits in the next round

  • American League: Red Sox/Yankees winner → Tampa Bay Rays. White Sox/Astros winner → Cleveland Guardians.
  • National League: Cubs/Padres winner → Milwaukee Brewers. Phillies/Braves winner → Los Angeles Dodgers.

Those are possible matchups, not a claim that Boston has advanced. The two Division Series winners in each league move on to their league championship series; the league champions meet in the World Series.

If Boston advances

The Red Sox/Yankees winner is scheduled to open the AL Division Series at Tampa Bay on Saturday, October 3, at 6:30 p.m. Game 2 follows Monday, October 5, at 8 p.m. The listed outlets are TBS, truTV and HBO Max.

Further ALDS dates are October 7, October 8 if necessary, and October 10 if necessary. Later first-pitch times still require confirmation. Plan around the announced games and leave the conditional dates flexible.
