There has been significant discussion regarding the 2012 MLB Playoff schedule due to the possibility of there being a second wildcard team added to the mix for the postseason. We’ll know prior to the kickoff of the 2012 MLB season; however, for now the following draft schedule includes the notional dates for the Playoffs based on a one game playoff between the Wildcard Teams for each league. As more information is made available to include times, dates, and broadcast network(s), the schedule will be revised.

2012 MLB Playoff Schedule
The end of the 2012 MLB season is firmly scheduled for 03 October 2012. There are still a lot of moving pieces regarding the official 2012 MLB Playoff schedule. We know for sure that the 2012 MLB regular season will end on October 3rd, 2012. We also know for sure that game 1 of the 2012 World Series will start on October 24th, 2012. Everything in between is subject to change based on ongoing negotiations between the various MLB stakeholders.
2012 AL and NL Wildcard Playoff
If we see a second wildcard team added to the 2012 MLB playoff schedule this season, it will likely be a one game affair based on the end of the MLB regular season and the tentative start to the Divisional Series on 6 October. We also don’t know if MLB will schedule the wildcard games to occur on the same day, or opposing days. Just another one of those details being worked out. Worst-case, is there is not 2012 MLB Wildcard Playoff round this year, but there will be fore sure in 2013. The decision is due by 1 March 2012 from MLB.
