2017 NLCS: Dodgers-Cubs Start Times And Schedule

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs begin their National League Championship Series matchup with a pair of night games at Dodger Stadium this weekend, and now have start/potential start times for the entire best-of-seven series.

When it shifts to Wrigley Field for Game 3 on Tuesday, Oct. 17, first pitch will be at 6:01 p.m. PT. Game 4, scheduled the following day, will begin a 5:08 p.m. if the ALCS has concluded in a sweep, or 6:01 p.m. if the Houston Astros and New York Yankees are still playing.

If necessary, Game 5, has a 5:08 p.m. PT start at Wrigley Field. Should the NLCS extend beyond that point, it would return to Dodger Stadium for Games 6 and/or 7 on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22, respectively.

The Game 6 start is tentatively scheduled for 1:08 p.m. That would mark the Dodgers’ only early afternoon start to this point. However, it would be pushed back to 5:08 p.m. if the Astros and Yankees wrap up the ALCS in six games or fewer.

If the Dodgers and Cubs play to a Game 7, that begins at 4:38 p.m. PT. However many games the NLCS lasts, it will be televised exclusively by TBS. Brian Anderson is on the call and he’s joined by analyst Ron Darling and reporter Sam Ryan.

The Cubs eliminated the Dodgers from the NLCS in six games last year. Los Angeles currently holds the highest probability to reach and win the World Series.
