The Padres are playing in their first NLCS since 1998, which also happens to be the last year that San Diego played in the World Series. The Padres are hoping to return to the World Series for the first time in 24 years.

The first two games of the series will be played in San Diego Tuesday and Wednesday night. Both teams will have Thursday off as a travel day, before playing game three, game four and game five (if necessary) in Philadelphia Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If a game six and game seven are necessary, those games will be played in San Diego Monday and Tuesday.

The Padres open the NLCS Tuesday night at 8:03 p.m. ET against the Phillies at Petco Park in San Diego.
