The “where” is yet to be determined, but the “when” was announced: The Braves will begin the National League Championship Series at 8:07 p.m. Saturday on TBS.

The NLCS will begin either at Truist Park or in San Francisco. The Dodgers and Giants were set for a winner-take-all Game 5 on Thursday evening in the Bay Area. If the Giants win, they will host the Braves beginning Saturday. If the Dodgers win, the Braves, as a division winner, would have homefield advantage over the Dodgers.

Despite winning 106 games, the Dodgers were a wild-card team because the Giants won a franchise-record 107 games.

Game 2 would be slated for 7:37 p.m. Sunday if the Braves host. It will be at 8:07 p.m. if the Giants host. Game 2 also will be televised on TBS.

Other times for the best-of-seven series haven’t been announced. Times are subject to change.
