Baseball season typically runs from late March or early April to late September or early October. During this time, professional teams in Major League Baseball (MLB) compete in a series of games, aiming to win their division and ultimately the championship title, known as the World Series. Each team plays 162 games in the regular season, which allows fans to enjoy a variety of matchups and rivalries. The season is divided into several key phases, including spring training, the regular season, and the postseason. Spring training occurs in February and March, where teams prepare for the season. After the regular season, the top teams enter the playoffs, culminating in the World Series, where the champions of the American League and National League face off for the title.
