The 2017 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the participating teams of the 2017 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1–3) and a fourth team—the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff— played in two series.
These matchups were:
- (1) Los Angeles Dodgers (West Division champions) vs (4) Arizona Diamondbacks (Wild Card Game winner): Dodgers win series 3–0.
- (2) Washington Nationals (East Division champions) vs (3) Chicago Cubs (Central Division champions): Cubs win series 3–2.[3]
The Dodgers would go on to defeat the Cubs in the NLCS, then lose the 2017 World Series in a controversial 4-3 series to the American League champion Houston Astros.
For the first time, Major League Baseball sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series; T-Mobile US acquired presenting sponsorship to the NLDS,[4] and thus the series was officially known as the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile.[5]
