The 1992 Major League Baseball postseason was the playoff tournament of Major League Baseball for the 1992 season. The winners of each division advance to the postseason and face each other in a League Championship Series to determine the pennant winners that face each other in the World Series.
In the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays returned to the postseason for the second year in a row, and the Oakland Athletics returned for the fourth time in the past five seasons. In the National League, the Atlanta Braves made their second of fourteen consecutive postseason appearances, and the Pittsburgh Pirates were making their third straight appearance.
This would be the last time the Pirates appeared in the postseason until 2013, as the team would experience 20 consecutive losing seasons afterward.
The playoffs began on October 6, 1992, and concluded on October 24, 1992, with the Blue Jays defeating the Braves in six games in the 1992 World Series. The Blue Jays became the first team from Canada to win the World Series.
