Here is the 2026 postseason field

MLB has finalized its 2026 postseason field, featuring 12 teams — three division champions and three Wild Card teams from both the American League and National League. The Houston Astros were the last team to clinch, securing the AL West title on September 27 with an 81-81 record, becoming the first team in a full season to reach the playoffs without a winning record. The two top division champions in each league earn first-round byes, while the remaining eight teams begin best-of-three Wild Card Series on Tuesday.
