who will the phillies play in the playoffs

The Philadelphia Phillies will begin their playoffs in the National League Division Series (NLDS) with home-field advantage. They have clinched a first- round bye and will enter the playoffs as either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the National League. This means they will skip the Wild Card round. If the Phillies finish as the No. 2 seed, they will play the winner of the Wild Card matchup between the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds, which is currently between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets. If the Phillies secure the No. 1 seed, they will face the winner of the No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchup, likely between the Chicago Cubs and the San Diego Padres. The Phillies will host Game 1 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, October 4, 2025, and Game 2 on Monday, October 6. Games 3 and 4, if necessary, will be away on October 8 and 9, with a possible Game 5 back at Citizens Bank Park on October 11.
