How to decide the schedule for the Japan Series

The dates for the Japan Series vary each year. In odd-numbered years, teams participating in the Pacific League, and in even-numbered years, teams participating in the Central League play games 1, 2, 6, and 7 at their home base, and games 3, 4, and 5 are played by the other team. It will be held at the headquarters. Since 2023 is an odd-numbered year, games 1, 2, 6, and 7 will be played at the home base of the Pacific League teams, and games 3, 4, and 5 will be played at the home base of the Central League teams.

Additionally, if there is a tie and Game 8 is to be played, it will be held at the same stadium as Game 7. Game 8 has only been played once in the past, in 1986, when the Hiroshima Toyo Carp and Seibu Lions (currently Saitama Seibu Lions) competed. In 1986, the first match was a draw, after which Hiroshima won three consecutive games. From there, Seibu won three consecutive games, sending the match to Game 8. In the end, Seibu managed to shake off Hiroshima and take the top spot in Japan.

Professional baseball Japan series 2023 stadium

The stadium that will host the 2023 Professional Baseball Japan Series has not been decided at this time. Details will be announced after the teams participating in the Japan Series have been decided based on the results of the Climax Series.

What are the past dates?

The Japan Series is usually held from mid-October to early November. The only exceptions in recent years are 2020 and 2021, when the regular season was held irregularly due to the new coronavirus. The number one in Japan was decided in 2020, which started on November 21st and the 25th, and in 2021, which started on November 20th and on the 27th.

The earliest Japan Series to begin was in 1964 (Nankai Hawks vs. Hanshin Tigers), starting on October 1st and ending on the 10th with Nankai playing No. 1 in Japan. It was also the fastest time in history that Japan’s number one was decided on October 10th. On the other hand, the latest season to start was the first Japan Series in 1950 (Mainichi Orions vs. Shochiku Robins), which started on November 22nd, and on the 28th, Mainichi became the best in Japan. The number one in Japan was decided on November 28th, which is also the latest in history.

summary

Since the Western calendar is an odd year, the 2023 Professional Baseball Japan Series will begin on Saturday, October 28th at the Pacific League’s home stadium. In 2022, the Orix Buffaloes were crowned number one in Japan, but which team will take the crown in 2023? With the final stages of the regular season, the Climax Series, and the Japan Series, we can’t take our eyes off professional baseball.
