Playoffs
This was to have been the first year of a regularly scheduled three-tier playoff system, with the NL and AL divided into three divisions (East, Central, and West) at the start of the 1994 season. (An unscheduled three-tier system was used in 1981 due to the shortening of the season by a mid-season labor dispute.) The new playoff system (involving a wild card team in each league) did not go into effect until the 1995 postseason. Had the postseason taken place on the basis of team records on August 11, the participants in each division series would have been determined as follows:
| Division Series ABC |
League Championship Series NBC |
World Series ABC |
