The Mariners have designs on getting back to the playoffs in 2025, but what does the path look like in 2026?
The Seattle Mariners are still very much in the throws of the 2025 season and they have their sights set on getting back to the postseason for the first time since the 2022 campaign.
They enter play on Thursday in possession of the third wild card spot in the American League, though the grasp on that spot is tenuous, with the Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays all within shouting distance.
However, we can always look ahead, as Major League Baseball released the schedule for the 2026 Mariners on Aug. 26.
Here's a look at Seattle's path to the playoffs next year, in detailed form. It should be noted that game times are not out yet.
