This Saturday, there will be no WNBA playoff game, with the postseason returning Sunday as the best-of-five semifinal round begins. However, sports fans will still have plenty to watch, as MLB and college football will feature some major contests. Motorsport fans will also have the chance to catch the NASCAR Las Vegas Weekend.

With all four MLB Division Series games on the schedule Saturday, fans can follow the action through a mix of national television and streaming outlets. The American League Division Series games will air across TBS, truTV, UniMás and HBO Max, while the National League Division Series games will be carried by FOX, FS1, FOX Deportes and FOX One.

The opening MLB game will feature the Chicago White Sox against the Cleveland Guardians. The two teams will face each other in a best-of-five series, with the first contest taking place at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The White Sox could enter the series with some momentum after sweeping their Wild Card Series in Houston. Meanwhile, the Guardians have had some extra time to rest and prepare for the Division Series. That break could become an important factor as the series gets underway.

With MLB, college football, and NASCAR all on the Saturday schedule, there will be plenty of options for sports fans throughout the day. Now, let’s take a look at the complete broadcast schedule for this Saturday.
