New York - This week, MLB postseason coverage comes to FOX Sports 1 for the first time as America's new sports network is scheduled to televise up to eight games of the National League Division Series presented by Budweiser, opening with a Game 1 doubleheader on Friday, Oct. 3. That day, the Pittsburgh Pirates or San Francisco Giants take on the National League East Division Champion Washington Nationals in a National League Division Series Game 1, live from Nationals Park in Washington, DC. Later, the National League West Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers host the Central Division Champion St. Louis Cardinals in the other NLDS Game 1, live from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci call the action for the Cardinals/Dodgers series, with reports from Ken Rosenthal.

FOX Sports is providing more hours of pre and postgame coverage devoted to MLB's postseason than in any year prior. FOX, FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes have over 60 hours of pre, between-game and postgame coverage planned, including expanded 90-minute editions of AMERICA'S PREGAME, hosted by Mike Hill and news anchor Molly McGrath, and special editions of FOX SPORTS LIVE, FOX Sports 1's signature news, highlights and analysis program between games and following most games.
All NLDS games televised by FOX Sports 1 are also televised in Spanish exclusively on FOX Deportes, the leader in Spanish-language sports media, and for the first time via FOX Sports GO, the app that provides live streaming video of FOX Sports content at home or on-the-go.
