The 2023 National League Championship Series was the best-of-seven playoff between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks for the National League (NL) pennant and the right to play in the 2023 World Series.
The series began on October 16 and Game 7 was played on October 24. TBS televised the games in the U.S.[1][2] This was the second time in LCS history, and second year in a row, that two wild card teams faced each other. For the third straight full season, a team with less than 90 wins won the NLCS, as the 84-win Diamondbacks pulled off the upset to defeat Philadelphia in seven games.[3][4]
The Diamondbacks would go on to lose in the 2023 World Series to the Texas Rangers.
