Major League Baseball on Monday announced the start times for Division Series games through Sunday. FS1 and MLB Network will exclusively televise all American League Division Series games, while TBS will exclusively telecast all National League Division Series games. All postseason games will be telecast in Canada by Sportsnet.


The AL East-champion Toronto Blue Jays will host the AL West-champion Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the AL Division Series at Rogers Centre on Thursday at either 3:37 p.m. ET or 4:07 p.m. ET, depending on the winner of the AL Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser. Later that evening, at either 7:37 p.m. ET/6:37 p.m. CT or 8:07 p.m. ET/7:07 p.m. CT, the AL Central-champion Kansas City Royals will host the winner of the AL Wild Card Game (either the Houston Astros or the New York Yankees) in Game 1 of the ALDS at Kauffman Stadium. Both of Thursday's games will be exclusively televised by FS1.
