PROSPECT LEAGUE PLAYOFF INFORMATION

 
FORMAT:
 The Prospect League plays a split season, with first and second-half winners. The first-half winner in each division hosts the second-half winner in a one-game division championship game. If a team wins both halves, the team from the same division with the next-best second-half record qualifies for the playoffs.

Division champions move on to the Conference Championship round, where the two divisional winners from the Eastern Conference (Northeast and Central Divisions) play each other in a winner-take-all game and the same for the two divisional winners from the Western Conference (Northwest and South Divisions). The team with the better overall win percentage hosts the Conference Championship Game. 

Conference Champions advance to the best-of-three Prospect League Championship Series. The team with the best overall record among the Conference Champions will have the option to host Game 1 or Games 2 and 3 (if necessary).

END OF FIRST HALF: The first half of the 2024 Prospect League season ends when the last game is completed on June 30. Official standings are determined by winning percentage, since many teams will have played a different number of games.
