Major League Baseball has revised its postseason schedule for Thursday, advancing the start time of Game 3 of the American League Championship Series to 1 p.m. ET, according to reports from ESPN and Fox Sports. Both organizations noted that the five-hour shift was implemented because of forecasted poor weather conditions in Cleveland.
Fox Sports reported that the league also shifted Game 4 of the National League Championship Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers. That contest at Dodger Stadium will now begin at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday evening, one hour earlier than originally planned.
How outlets are covering this
Major League Baseball has altered the Thursday broadcast schedule for both league championship series matchups. Game 3 of the ALCS was shifted forward by five hours due to weather concerns, while Game 4 of the NLCS will start an hour earlier than previously slated.
Shared reporting
- Game 3 of the ALCS scheduled for Thursday was moved up to a 1 p.m. ET start time.
- The ALCS schedule modification was made in response to projected inclement weather in Cleveland.
Different framing
- ESPN focused exclusively on the ALCS weather shift in Cleveland, whereas Fox Sports led its coverage with the NLCS schedule update before mentioning the ALCS adjustment and broader series background.
Why it matters
Weather adjustments during the postseason prevent prolonged rain delays and reshape the national television broadcast schedule for high-profile playoff games.
