“General Hospital” will be fully preempted on Tuesday, September 30 and Wednesday, October 1, and, if necessary*, on Thursday, October 2, due to ABC’s annual coverage of Major League Baseball National League Wild Card Series (Postseason) Games.
As in previous years, while “General Hospital” is preempted on each day of coverage, “GMA3” will air at its regular time on the East Coast (1:00 p.m. ET) and at a special time on the West Coast (2:00 p.m. PT). “The View” will air without interruption on both coasts.

The San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs are the two teams playing as part of the network’s National League coverage, which is set to begin at or around 3:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. CT, marking the first time since 1984 that the two teams will have met in the postseason. Additionally, San Diego has yet to win the World Series championship.

- Game 2: Wednesday, October 1, 3:00 p.m. ET on ABC
