The MLB Playoffs last three weeks and determine which two ball clubs meet to decide baseball's world champion.

Congrats to the 2020 World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who claimed their first World Series since 1988.

World Series Tickets
The World Series is one of the best events in sports and the culmination of the 2021 MLB season. The Fall Classic is a bucket list event for many baseball fans. Demand for World Series tickets is always strong and it is one of our top selling events. Expect that to stay the same in 2021 as there are a bunch of talented baseball teams that will battle it out in the MLB playoffs to earn spot in the World Series.
The World Series matches up the winning team from the ALCS, and the NLCS winner. These two teams play a best of seven game series to determine MLB's 2021 champion. The team with the better regular-season record will host World Series Games 1 & 2 and 6 & 7 (if necessary). Their opponent will host World Series Games 3 & 4 and Game 5 (if necessary). If you purchase World Series tickets for Games 5, 6 or 7 and that game is not played because one of the teams wins the series prior, then you will receive a refund for your purchase.
The first World Series in history was played in 1903 and featured the Boston Americans against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Boston won that first ever World Series. Over the century since that first World Series, the Fall Classic has staged many of the amazing games in baseball history. The best teams have played in World Series and many of them have hoisted the Commissioner's Trophy given to the winning franchise. Since its start in 1903, there are only two years the World Series was not played: 1904 and 1994. The New York Yankees have won the most World Series in MLB history. The only MLB team to never play in the World Series is the Seattle Mariners.
