Mets-Dodgers NLCS starts Sunday. Full series schedule and start ...

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 National League Championship Series beginning with Game 1 on Sunday.

The Mets are in the NLCS for the first time since 2015 after defeating the rival Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series.

The Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers in a thrilling three-game Wild Card series to start their MLB postseason run. 

The winners of the best-of-seven championship series between the Mets and Dodgers will play the American League champions in the World Series, which the Mets have not won since 1986. 

New York and Los Angeles also met in the 1988 NLCS, which the Dodgers won in seven games. 

On the American League side, the New York Yankees will play either the Cleveland Guardians or Detroit Tigers in the ALCS starting on Monday.
