The season began on July 23 and ended on September 27 with only 60 games amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. An expanded 16-team postseason tournament began on September 29, with games of all but the first round being played at neutral sites. During double headers, each game will end after 7 innings, with a runner-on-second rule in effect for extra innings during the abbreviated doubleheaders.

The playoff bracket consisted of eight teams from each league: the top two teams from each division, plus the teams from each league with the next two best records. The Wild Card Series was a best-of-three series, while the Division Series, League Championship Series, and World Series were their normal lengths. The Wild Card Series games were played at the home field of the higher seeded team. The division and league championship series were played at neutral sites, similar to those used for both the National Basketball Association and National Hockey League playoffs, to limit the possibility of another COVID-19 outbreak that could both disrupt the schedule and affect competitive integrity. The American League played at the San Diego Padres' Petco Park and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Dodger Stadium, while the National League played at the Texas Rangers' Globe Life Field and the Houston Astros' Minute Maid Park. The World Series then took place at Globe Life Field.
