Last updated December 27, 2024

The 2024 American League Championship Series was a best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball's 2024 postseason. The top-seeded New York Yankees defeated the second-seeded Cleveland Guardians, four games to one, to become American League (AL) champions for the 41st time. With the victory, the Yankees advanced to the 2024 World Series, their first appearance in the World Series since 2009. For his performance, Yankees hitter Giancarlo Stanton won the AL Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award.

Background

This is the first American League Championship Series since 2016 to not feature the Houston Astros, who were swept by the Detroit Tigers in the Wild Card Series. This brought an end to the Astros' streak of seven consecutive ALCS appearances (2017–2023), the most consecutive LCS appearances in the American League and the second-most consecutive LCS appearances after the Atlanta Braves' consecutive NLCS appearances of eight (1991–1999, excluding 1994 that was not played due to a players' strike).

The New York Yankees qualified for the postseason as the American League East division winner and the league's top seed. They clinched a playoff berth on September 18, returning to the postseason for the seventh time in eight years. They clinched the division on September 26 with a win over the Baltimore Orioles, which is their third divisional title in six years (2019, 2022, and this year). They are playing in their 59th postseason in franchise history, the most postseason appearances by a single team in Major League Baseball history.^[3] In the Division Series, they defeated the Kansas City Royals in four games to advance to the American League Championship Series for the 19th time in franchise history, the fourth time in eight years (2017, 2019, 2022, and this year), and their first ALCS appearance where their opponent is not the Houston Astros since 2012.^[4] The Yankees were attempting to win their record 41st American League pennant and return to the World Series for the first time since they won their record 27th championship title in 2009, which would end their 15-year World Series appearance drought.

The Cleveland Guardians qualified for the postseason as the American League Central division winner and the league's second seed. They clinched a playoff berth on September 19, returning to the postseason for the seventh time in 12 years. They clinched the division on September 21 with the Kansas City Royals' loss to the San Francisco Giants, which is their second division title in three years. In the Division Series, they defeated the Detroit Tigers in five games to advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2016. Overall, this is their seventh ALCS appearance in franchise history. The Guardians were attempting to return to the World Series for the first time since 2016 when they lost in seven games as the Cleveland Indians to the Chicago Cubs. The Guardians currently hold the longest active championship drought in Major League Baseball for 76 years since they last won their championship in 1948.

With the New York Mets having clinched an NLCS berth the night previous, this is the farthest that both New York teams in Major League Baseball have gone in the postseason since 2000, which was when the Yankees beat the Mets in the World Series in five games.

This series marks the seventh postseason meeting between the two teams, with the Yankees having won four of the previous six meetings. Cleveland defeated New York in the ALDS in 1997 and 2007, while New York prevailed in the 1998 ALCS, 2017 ALDS, 2020 AL Wild Card, and most recently the 2022 ALDS. Both the Yankees and Guardians missed the postseason in 2023. In six head-to-head matchups during the 2024 regular season, the Yankees won four and the Guardians won two.

Summary

New York won the series, 4–1.
