Schedule, Tickets, How to Watch – NBC 7 San Diego

The San Diego Padres have a chance to stop the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series run.

The Pads have advanced to the National League Division Series, where they will face the Dodgers in a best-of-five round starting Saturday.

Here's everything you need to know about the NLDS, including how to get tickets and where to watch the games.

When do the Padres play the Dodgers?

The first game of the NLDS is scheduled for Saturday at 5:38 p.m. at Dodger Stadium. The teams will meet again on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.

After two games in LA, the teams travel back to San Diego for game three on Tuesday, October 8th. The playing time is still to be determined.

If neither team wins the series, Game 4 will also be played at Petco Park on Wednesday, October 9, with a date to be announced. Game 5, if necessary, will be played at Dodger Stadium on Friday, October 11th.

What to Expect in Padres-Dodgers NLDS Game 1

The Padres were 8-5 against Los Angeles in the regular season, including a 2-4 record at Dodger Stadium. The teams also split two games in Seoul, South Korea at the start of the season.

Dylan Cease will start for the Padres in Game 1 of the best-of-five series against fellow right-hander Jack Flaherty.

Cease faced the Dodgers twice during the regular season – allowing one run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings in an 8-1 win July 31 at Petco Park and receiving a no-decision in a 4-3 loss on September 25 at Dodger Stadium, where he allowed three runs and five hits, the score was 3-3 when he was relieved in the top of the sixth inning.

Flaherty made his only 2024 appearance with the Padres in that September 25 game, allowing three runs and four hits in five innings.
