The 2021 National League Championship Series was the best-of-seven series in Major League Baseball (MLB) between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers, for the National League pennant and the right to play in the 2021 World Series. The matchup saw the Braves defeat the favored Dodgers by a score of 4 games to 2, sending the Braves to their first World Series since 1999, and in the process the Braves avenged their NLCS loss to the Dodgers the year prior.
The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Braves hosting the first two and last two (if necessary) games played as the higher seeded team.[1] TBS televised all games in the United States.
The Braves would go on to defeat the American League champion Houston Astros in the World Series, 4 games to 2, to secure their first World Series championship since 1995.
