The 2026 MLB Playoffs are underway, with the schedule kicking off with the Wild Card Series matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Game 1 is set for 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT) on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and it airs on NBC.
Multiple outlets provide viewing information for postseason games as the bracket progresses, describing the early matchups and broadcast availability. In both reports, the Phillies–Braves Wild Card opener is highlighted first, along with its start time and network. The coverage focuses on how fans can watch the playoffs, including references to live online viewing options, while listing broader playoff game availability beyond the initial Wild Card contest.
Across the sources, the consistent emphasis is on the playoffs beginning on Sept. 29, the location and matchup for Game 1, and the NBC broadcast for the first game. Any differences are mainly in how they phrase the overall “where to watch” guide and how they preview the wider lineup of postseason contests.
