The Chicago Cubs are back in the postseason as they chase a second World Series title this century

A strong regular season for the Cubs saw the team surpass 85 wins for the first time since 2019.

The Brewers already clinched the National League Central division, so the Cubs will be headed for the Wild Card round. While we don’t know who the Cubs will be playing in their Wild Card series, playoff baseball is finally back at Wrigley Field.

With Cubs fans hoping for a magical playoff run like 2016, the time is now to secure playoff tickets. Check back as Chicago’s playoff scenarios, and ticket prices continue to update during the final week of the MLB season.

Chicago Cubs 2025 MLB playoff scenarios

The Cubs have already clinched a playoff spot, but could still end the season as No. 4 or No. 5 seed. If the Cubs hang on to the No. 4 seed, they will earn homefield for the Wild Card round. If the team ends as the No. 5 seed, they will play at the No. 4 seed and be the road team in the best-of-3 Wild Card series and beyond. As of Wednesday morning, the Cubs sit 1.5 games ahead of the Padres for the No. 4 seed

The Cubs’ most likely scenario is to finish as the No. 4 seed and be the home team for the Wild Card round, but if they fall to the No. 5 seed in the National League, they will be on the road for all three potential games in a Wild Card series.

Should the Cubs win their Wild Card matchup, they would advance to the National League Divisional Series. With Chicago entering as the lower seed, they would host Game 3 and a hypothetical Game 4 as long as the series doesn’t end in a sweep.

If the Cubs advance to the National League Championship Series, it becomes a best-of-seven game series with the winner heading to the World Series. In the unlikely scenario in which the Cubs are the favorite, they will host Games 1, 2, 5 and 7. In the more likely scenario that the Cubs are the lower seed, they will start the series on the road and would host Games 3, 4 and 6.

Chicago Cubs World Series tickets

Should the Cubs make the World Series, homefield advantage goes to the team with the better regular-season record. While that’s not a likely scenario given the team’s current record, it’s not out of the question. If the Cubs did have the better regular-season record, they would host Games 1, 2 and hypothetical Games 5 and 7. If not, they would host Games 3, 4 and then Game 6 should the series require it.
