One guess could be to load up non-TV games on ESPN+ which would create plenty of frustrations to those who are not subscribed to the digital platform or to those who isn’t in the SEC/ACC market where they could possibly stream for free through their cable/satellite subscription. However, if a Game 7 comes together we’re talking about a Clemson/Notre Dame Primetime game that would highly likely attract a College Gameday visit to South Bend.įinal point, I’m curious on how ESPN will handle the MLB Wildcard rounds on a weekend during college football. College Football won’t face any unique match-up in Primetime. Amazing though how one week makes a difference.Īs far football competition goes in the World Series, the Bengals/Browns match-up probably won’t be too exciting coming in because it looks like Deshaun Watson won’t appear in that game unless his suspension surprisingly sticks to 6 games which is upbeat news for FOX and the MLB. And if there has to be reason or blame it points back to the lockout delaying the season by a week which at this point is spilled milk.

With that said, the MLB hasn’t released the 2023 schedule yet and I will bet 3 pairs of my socks that the RS season end before October and also the Wildcard series will end at the start of October (barring rain delay postponements). Now the next hope is for no games being postponed due to rain delay. I know there are people very frustrated for the WS to end well into November, but once again it was understandable.
I don’t look at this at them avoiding NFL primetime action, just at the hands they were decked following the lockout. Looking at the calendar, it makes all sense for the MLB to do what they did and have no Sunday WS. For some reason I always believed that the season still ended on Sunday, but it actually ends on October 5th which is a Wednesday. The Division Series and LCS are set to begin on the opening nights of the NHL and NBA, respectively.įOX is scheduled to carry a Division Series game on Wednesday, October 12 in what would be its first LDS broadcast since 2006.įirst thing first I’ll admit I was wrong about a Sunday WS game this year on a Yankees/Mets ratings post weeks ago. The Division Series is scheduled to begin the following Tuesday and the League Championship Series a week after that. The new best-of-three Wild Card series are scheduled to run from Friday, October 7 through Sunday, October 9, with all 12 potential games airing on ESPN. ESPN has Bengals-Browns that night, presumably far less onerous competition than NBC’s Packers-Bills would have been the night before.
While the World Series will avoid going head-to-head with Sunday Night Football, the new schedule includes a Halloween head-to-head with Monday Night Football. Notably, the aforementioned 1990 season was also delayed by a lockout. The addition of a new round of playoffs, combined with the season ending later than scheduled due to the owner-imposed offseason lockout, are the primary contributors. The October 28 start and potential November 5 finish are the latest in World Series history. That year, the Fall Classic began on a Tuesday and ended in a four-game sweep, avoiding what would have been a Sunday Game 5.
This year will mark the first time since 1990 that no World Series game has taken place on a Sunday. The 2022 World Series is scheduled to begin Friday, October 28 and run as late as Saturday, November 5, with no games scheduled for a Sunday, according to the official schedule released by Major League Baseball on Monday. There are no Sunday World Series games scheduled for the first time in recent memory.
