Road to the Title: How It Works

Each bracket is further categorized into a Winners Bracket and a Consolation Bracket. This continues until the U.S. and International championship games, which then become single-elimination contests.
- World Series Semifinals & Final: Orange and Purple bracket winners face off in the semifinals, with winners advancing to the championship game on August 10 at 3 p.m. ET (ABC). A consolation game precedes it at noon ET.
- Broadcast: Early bracket games stream on ESPN+; key matchups air on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC. Check local listings for exact coverage.
